Nakhon Phanom province, in Northeast Thailand also known as Isan, lies the village of Renu Nakhon. This area, rarely visited by foreign tourists. Located west of the Mekong river and neighboring Laos, is mainly rural and quiet. Wat Phra That Renu Nakhon is an elegant chedi in rural Renu Nakhon.
The town’s main attraction is the Wat Phra That Renu Nakhon temple complex, with the elegantly designed 36 meters tall and over 8 meters wide chedi dominating the area. The chedi is based on the much older and very highly revered chedi of Wat Phra That Phanom, a little South of Renu Nakhon. Although not the same in shape or size, the two chedis share the same design characteristics.
The mainly white and gold colored chedi named Phra That Renu was built in 1918 and is a good example of Laotian style. The pagoda has niches on all four sides.
The ubosot or ordination hall of the temple complex contains a highly revered golden Buddha image in Laotian style.
The village Renu Nakhon is also known for the Phu Thai people that live here, and the hand made cotton and silk products they produce.
