[2025 Mukdahan Attraction] Travel Guide for Great Buddha (Updated Apr)

The Buddha statue in honor of “Phra Chao Yai Kaew Mukda Sri Trairat” is enshrined on the mountaintop. The Buddha statue in the Mara-Vijaya attitude is 39.99 meters wide, 59.99 meters high, and 84 meters high from the base to the top of the head. It is enshrined at Wat Roi Phra Phutthabat Phu Manorom, built to honor King Rama IX. It stands tall on the mountaintop and is considered another beautiful spot for watching the sunset. #WinterTravel #Phra Chao Yai Kaew Mukda Sri Trairat

“Be aware of your mind, never be self-deluded. Be grateful to others, never fall into disgrace.“ 🙏Traveling 1. Drive from Nakhon Phanom Province to Phra That Phanom, approximately 80 kilometers. 2. Drive from Mukdahan Province to Phra That Phanom, approximately 40 kilometers. 3. Drive from Sakon Nakhon Province to Phra That Phanom, approximately 60 kilometers. 🙏Benefits of Attending Phra That Phanom Festival 1. Pay homage to the Buddha's relics. 2. Preserve and honor Isan cultural traditions. 3. Enjoy the festival throughout the day (usually with opening and closing times). 4. Earn merit and good deeds. Therefore, anyone from any region visiting Isan who does not pay homage to Phra That Phanom has not truly visited Isan.

They say that anyone who comes to ask for fortune, ask for matters related to money or work must come to Wat Phum Norom. Today is another day that we have the opportunity to come to Mukdahan Province. We must not miss it. Because if we miss it, it is considered that we did not come at all. 55 Wat Phum Norom opens at 8:30 AM. Cars are not allowed to go up. You must take the temple's songthaew up. There are no tickets for sale. It is up to the devotees to put money in the box. It is considered a very beautiful temple, especially the Naga that seems to be alive. I recommend that you do not miss it. #triptakesyoutoaskfornewyearblessings #NagaWatRoyPhuManorom #VisitWatPhumNorom #VisitMukdahan #Pleasefollow #DhammaTravelBhikkhu

“If we don’t add more merit, it will run out. It’s like water in a jar that we don’t add more to, eventually it will run out.” If you come to Mukdahan and don’t come to pay homage and ask for blessings from the Buddha’s footprint at Wat Phum Norom, it’s like you haven’t been to Mukdahan. Because this temple has a place to worship the largest Buddha footprint in the Northeast, and most importantly, there is a Naga for those who believe in superstition. The temple has a beautiful flower garden. You can take pictures with the big Buddha. #triptakesyoutoaskfornewyearblessings #visitwatphumnorom #watroyphraphutthabatphumnorom #pleasefollow #travelingdhammabhikkhu #pleasepleasebless
