“Wat Tham Saeng Phet There are international monks regularly come to practice Dharma.”

Wat Tham Saeng Phet located at Mu 10, Amnat Charoen - Khemmarat Road, Tambon Nong Masaeo, is a spacious temple comprising a wihan on the mountaintop, a stupa and a beautiful reclining Buddha image. To the north of the wihan is a large cave housing the beautiful characteristic Buddha image. The name Tham Saeng Phet came from the sparkling rocks when reflecting the sunlight, which makes it look like the sparkles of a diamond or Phet in Thai. This temple is the fifth branch meditation practice centre of Wat Nong Pa Phong under the Phra Achan Cha Suphattho School.
