Nong Khai, in Nong Khai Province There are many sacred things that are priceless. One of them is Phra That Klang Nam When entering the dry season You will be able to see the relics emerging in the middle of the Mekong River more clearly. Tourists like to pay homage and worship. What you see here is Phra That Klang Nam or Phra That Nong Khai. Or is there another name for it? Phra That La Nong It is a pagoda that contains ancient Buddha relics that are hundreds of years old. The pagoda was originally on the waterfront in the area of ??Wat Phra That Nong Khai, but in 1847 it was eroded by the tides. Therefore it became located in the middle of the Mekong River as seen today. When entering the dry season The water level in the Mekong River has decreased. You will see the pagoda. which emerges from the water more than during other seasons Tourists like to get on boats to pay respects and ask for blessings. Look at the Phra That closely. Mr. Rapin Butsen, tour boat driver Raft of Wat Sirimha Kachai Who offers a boat service to float Mars and pay homage to the relics in the middle of the water. Said that he has been driving a boat for more than 20 years. In the past, people did not like to go on boats to pay homage to the relics. But lately it has been posted on social media. And when many people come to pay homage and ask for blessings and then succeed They often travel back to pay homage and make offerings. Especially during this time Mekong water level decreased And it can be seen that there will be a boat parked near the relics. So that tourists can make vows, pay respects and take close-up photos. This made the boat driver start to worry that If someone controls the boat without experience If you are not skilled at driving a boat, you may hit the relics, causing damage. Therefore, I would like government agencies to give importance to this. Issue a rule asking for cooperation from tour boat operators to stay away from boats. Do not bring boats near the Phra That. In order to help preserve it for future generatio ns to worship. Source: Thai News Agency
