🐉✨ Wat Phumanorom, Mukdahan

One of Mukdahan's most popular landmarks, Wat Roi Phra Phutthabat Phu Manorom (Wat Roi Phra Phutthabat Phu Manorom) is a popular destination for making merit and enjoying the stunning views. Located atop a high hill, it offers 360-degree views of Mukdahan City and the Mekong River. Not only is this a sacred site, it's also one of the most beautiful viewpoints in the Northeast. 🌅

🛕 The Temple's Beauty and Sacredness

The most striking sight upon arrival is the "Phra Yai Phu Manorom," or "Phra Phuttha Mukda Maha Mongkol," a large, pure white Buddha image perched atop the mountain. Standing tall and majestic, it's visible from afar. Its face is filled with compassion. When the morning sunlight hits the Buddha, it reflects a beautiful glow, reminiscent of the light of faith.

Tourists and devotees alike flock to this sacred site for auspiciousness, especially during important religious holidays. The tranquil atmosphere and cool breezes offer a sense of relaxation and a sense of merit. 🙏

🐍 Phraya Sri Mukda Maha Muni Nilpan Naga — Beauty beyond imagination

Another must-see highlight is the large Naga statue snaking in the courtyard below the Big Buddha. This Naga is called "Phaya Sri Mukda Mahamuni Nilpal Naga Raja," and its shimmering blue-green body, adorned with shiny scales, gracefully curves yet exudes elegance and power.

When photographed from a low angle, the Naga appears to be snaking upwards into the sky, breathtakingly beautiful and lifelike. This is a popular photo opportunity for visitors to capture their memories. 📸
