Phra That Si Song Rak Temple

Phra That Si Song Rak was constructed between 1560 and 1563 by King Chakraphat of Ayutthaya and King Chai Chetta of Lan Xang of Laos, in order to commemorate mutual collaboration between the two of Kingdoms. Over 30 meters high, Phra That Si Song Rak has a majestic chapel containing a gilded statue of the Buddha protected by a naga and a tall Laotian-style lotus-bud. Also noteworthy is a fascinating chedi with a gold motif at each corner. Annually attended by thousands of people, Phra That Si Song Rak is located on the bank of Man River, 83 km from Loei.
