Amnat Charoen Attractions

Wat Phra Buddha Mongkol is situated south-west of the town, at Ban Buddha Mongkol, a small village to which the temple has given its name. Shady trees surround the wat's 16 m (52 ft)-high figure of the Buddha on its 5 m (16 ft) base. The statue, clad in a mosaic of thousands of little pieces of glass, is of recent origin.

In February each year Wat Phra Buddha Mongkol is the scene of a major religious festival attracting great numbers of pilgrims from near and far.
