“The most striking feature is the ordination hall shaped like a royal swan boat, intricately adorned with vibrant ceramic tiles. Surrounded by tranquil grounds and other artful structures, it reflects both Thai creativity and deep religious devotion.”

Wat Sa Prasan Suk, also known as Wat Ban Na Mueang, is located in Rainoi Subdistrict, Mueang District, Ubon Ratchathani Province. It is a distinctive and revered temple in the region, recognized for its outstanding architecture and peaceful environment.

The temple's centerpiece is the ordination hall (ubosot) shaped like a royal swan boat, entirely covered in colorful ceramic tiles. The design is truly breathtaking, making it one of the most visually stunning ubosots in Thailand. The boat shape is symbolic and emphasizes the spiritual journey, attracting both pilgrims and tourists alike.

This remarkable temple was founded and developed by Phra Khru Sirithammabundit (Luang Pu Bunmi Chotipalo), a highly respected monk in the region. Although he has now passed away, his teachings and legacy continue to inspire devotees. The temple community honors his memory and spiritual guidance to this day.

Other interesting features within the temple grounds include

• A ceramic-adorned bell tower, showcasing intricate designs comparable to the ubosot
• Luang Pu Bunmi Museum, which displays his personal belongings, old photographs, and sacred amulets
• A meditation and activity pavilion, ideal for those seeking peace, quiet, or participating in religious events

Surrounded by lush greenery and a calm atmosphere, the temple is an excellent destination for worship, photography, or spiritual exploration. It becomes particularly lively during Buddhist festivals like Makha Bucha and Asalha Bucha, when devotees from nearby provinces gather to pay homage.
