Wat Po Chai in Nong Khai, north-eastern Thailand, is a popular Buddhist temple with both the thai people and visitors alike....
The main attraction is the Viharn with houses the much revered Gold Buddha statue of Luang Phor Phra Sai dating back to the mid 18th century. The statue has an interesting history. Whilst being transferred from Laos to Thailand, the boat carrying it across the Mekong River, sank. For twenty-five years the statue was lost to the waters until it was re-discovered and enshrined in Wat Po Chai.
The Viharn is covered with stunning murals telling the story of the Statue, together with scenes from the life of the Buddha and others of Buddhist life in Nong Khai........
