Wat Phra That Nong Bua

Wat Phra That Nong Bua or Wat Nong Bua is a temple of the Dhammayuttika Nikaya sect located in Tambon Nai Mueang, Amphoe Mueang Ubon Ratchathani, Ubon Ratchathani Province. Wat Phra That Nong Bua was built in 1955 by Mr. Fong Sitthitham, a former Minister of Agriculture and Cooperatives who was a native of Ubon Ratchathani. He built the temple on his rice field to be a place for practicing Vipassana meditation by Phra Ajahn Dee, Phra Ajahn Singh Khanthayakomo, or Chao Khun Thep Yannawisit. It covers a total area of ​​more than 50 rai. It was built on the auspicious occasion of the halfway point of the Buddhist era, the 2500th Buddhist century, while Mr. Fong Sitthitham was imprisoned in Ubon Ratchathani Central Prison on charges of internal rebellion. The people responsible for requesting land to build the temple were Mr. Thongpoon Yuwamit and Mr. Aun Waihong. They led the group to visit Mr. Fong at Ubon Ratchathani Central Prison. Ms. Fong was happy to donate this plot of land to the temple even though she was in prison. #Where to travel in Ubon
