Wat Phu Tok in Bueng Kan


Wat Phu Tok, also known as Wat Jetiyakhiri, is the best known tourist attraction in Bueng Kan Province in the north east of Thailand. The feature which Wat Phu Tok is famous for is the walkways and shrines on Phu Tok, which is a 359 metre high sandstone hill with very steep sides which is located within the grounds of the temple. The monks have built wooden walkways up the very steep side of the hill, and creates stairs and paths up the other side which is mostly less steep with some caves where shrines have been installed. There are 7 levels to the walkway up this hill, including the top of the hill, representing the 7 stages in the path to Buddhist enlightenment. A walk up the steep side of the hill rewards those intrepid enough to deal with the narrow vertigo inducing walkways with some great views of the surrounding countryside.

The temple also has a lake, a small ordination hall and a large chedi tower in the gardens below the hill which you can go inside. The chedi is dedicated to the famous monk Ajahn Juan who founded the temple in 1968 and built the walkways. The inside of the chedi has a statue of Ajahn Juan and some fragments of his bones and hair which are considered by some Thai Buddhists to be holy relics.
