“- a 65-foot long marble statue of a reclining Buddha.”
Wat Pa Phukon is located in 3 provinces, Udon Thani, Loei and Nong Khai, was built from the right idea of the Four Buddhists who are aware of the great benefits of nature and the headwater forests, which are being destroyed.
Wat Pa Phukon is a temple in the Na Yuang - Nam Som National Forest Reserve, Ban Na Kham, Ban Kong Subdistrict, Na Yuang District, Udon Thani Province. It has been a temple in accordance with the regulations of the Department of Religious Affairs since 1987 and has received permission from the Royal Forest Department to use it to establish a Buddhist park with an area of 1,000 rai. In 1988, it was named "Phuttha Uthayan Maha Rukkha Parijat" with Phra Khru Chittapawanayan (Chalie Thiradhammo) as the abbot and the head monk of Na Yuang District.
Her Royal Highness Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn presided over the ceremony to enshrine the relics of the Lord Buddha in the hair of "Phra Ruang Rungrot Si Burapha", the principal Buddha image in front of the Great Chedi on January 29, 2001 and received a certificate from the Royal Forest Department as an outstanding forest resource conservation and development temple at the provincial level in 2001 in the category of preserving original forests from 501 rai and up.
The temple complex was built between 2010 and 2013. The construction cost 320 million Thai baht, with the funds used for construction being donated by a Thai donor in honor of King Bhumibol Adulyadej. The temple complex is centered around the Great Wihan, the largest component of the temple. In addition, a number of smaller buildings are located around the complex. One of the most notable features of the temple is a 65-foot long statue of a reclining Buddha. Said statue was built with white marble blocks imported from Italy and then sculpted in Thailand. The temple also features a 25 meter high golden stupa.
Inside the temple, there is a 2-storey Ubosot hall, which is the place for monks to perform the ceremony on the upper floor and the place for eating on the lower floor. There are 45 monks' huts, 1 kitchen, 6 laymen's houses, 20 concrete water tanks and many bathrooms, using the mountain water system from a small earthen weir that is the source of water and waterfalls in the temple. Later, the Royal Irrigation Department restored it to be permanently strong in 1995. The temple also extended the water system to Ban Na Kham, which is 4 km away from the temple, so that the villagers have a convenient and clean water source.
