Situated south of the main town of Nong Khai is a lovely forest wat.
Wat Noen Phra Nao surrounded by cool shaded trees is a centre
of Vipassana meditation, one of India's most ancient techniques,
being established more than 2500 years ago as a universal remedy for all ills.....
The forest wat is home to a number of Buddhist statues and figurines,
many explaining the teachings of The Buddha.....

amplified by the 8 sema or boundary stones....
The Temple cloister in the Inner Courtyard that houses the Ubosot
only covers two sides....

The wat is surrounded by a Chinese Cemetery, in the
midst of which is this new stupa....
The temple has a most peaceful air about it...
on the three occasions I visited, though, neither
the Ubosot or Viharn were open..... which is a pity
as I would love to have seen inside....
