Phrathat Renu

 


The ordination hall houses a golden Buddha image, Phra Saen, which was built in a fine meditation posture in the Laotian style. The stupa is located in Wat That Renu, Ban Renu Nakhon. Built in 1918, the stupa is an imitation of the former Phrathat Phanom in a smaller size. Phrathat Renu, 35 metres high and 8.37 metres wide, has niches on the four sides. The stupa houses the ‘Tipitaka’ – the three divisions of the Buddhist Canon, gold and silver Buddha statues, precious items and regalia of Nakhon Phanom’s rulers and noblemen.
