Phra That Sajja is located within Wat Lat Pu Song Tham in Tha Li District, Loei Province. It was constructed with the intention of “continuing the spiritual life of Phra That Phanom,” which collapsed in 1975 (B.E. 2518). The monument reflects the deep-rooted faith and unity of Buddhists on both sides of the Mekong, representing the unbroken cultural and spiritual bond between Thailand and Laos along the Hueang River.

The stupa is designed in a twelve-cornered square base style, inspired by Phra That Phanom in Nakhon Phanom Province. It is made of fine stucco adorned with delicate Buddhist motifs in shimmering gold. When sunlight touches its surface during sunrise or sunset, the stupa radiates a warm golden glow, symbolizing the “Light of Faith.” Inside the stupa, relics of the Buddha, soil, and bricks from the original Phra That Phanom are enshrined for devotees to worship.

The area surrounding the stupa is beautifully decorated with seven-headed Naga sculptures flanking both sides of the staircase, representing guardians of the Dhamma. In front of the stupa, there is a Dhamma courtyard and a meditation pavilion where religious ceremonies and merit-making events are held, especially on Buddhist holy days.

The temple grounds are peaceful and shaded, with large Bodhi trees and colorful flowers lining the walkways. Visitors can meditate, pray, or simply relax in this tranquil atmosphere filled with faith. There is also a small community museum displaying ancient Buddhist artifacts, statues, and traditional ceremonial items preserved by local villagers.

During important Buddhist festivals such as Makha Bucha, Visakha Bucha, and the End of Buddhist Lent, grand ceremonies and candlelight processions are held around the stupa. People from across Tha Li District and neighboring Lao villages in Xayabuli Province cross the Hueang River to join the celebration, symbolizing the strong spiritual bond of “Two Lands, One Faith.”

Phra That Sajja is not only a religious landmark but also a spiritual sanctuary that unites the hearts of the local community. It is a place where visitors can experience peace, faith, and the beauty of Buddhist devotion — a meaningful destination for those seeking serenity and spiritual fulfillment.
