Nice Kong River view and beautiful rock garden
Small Buddhist temple on Mekhong River, 20 km from Bueng Karn town. It is believed that this is the deepest point (navel) of Mekhong River and is the gate to Naka Palace. Many beautiful natural big rocks spread in temple area as rock garden. The opposite side of river is Laos border. Weather was quite hot during the day but it would look more beautiful in the evening.

Just a stone's throw from Laos!
Contrary to the Trip Advisor listing, this wat is actually located in Bueng Kan Province, not Nong Khai Province. It is about 20 kms west of Bueng Kan City. The place is a very spot along the Mekong River. Aside from the view of the narrow stretch of the river (which, due to its deep and at times churning nature, is called "the navel of the Mekong"), there is a well-manicured garden with huge boulders, temples, trees and flowering plants. The area is also one of the spots from which the notorious naga fire balls sometimes reportedly appear.
