    One travel blog recommend this temple, from the picture I think this temple structure unlike others, so I choice it as part of my ride to Nong Khai west. On site, this temple just average, and almost alike most temple in Thailand.

    A hidden gem
    Apart from a large chedi and a mausoleum, this temple is not to be visited for its buildings. The temple is famous for the rocks cropping out in the Mekong and, in particular, for a famous abbot (Ajarn Thate) who founded the temple as a forest monastery. Ajarn Thate was so revered that (according to locals) the royal family visited several times in the 1970s and 1980s. The temple area covers around two square kilometers (mostly forest) and is still a prominent Buddhist teaching center in the Northeast.
