Wat Phu Tok in Bueng Kan

Wat Phu Tok is one of the most famous temples in Thailand and the best known tourist attraction in Bueng Kan Province, which is a small sparsely populated part of Thailand on the banks of the Mekong River. What makes Wat Phu Tok so famous are the walkways and shrines that the monks have installed on Phu Tok hill. Phu Tok hill is one of two large steep sided sandstone hills rising from an otherwise flat terrain.

The walkways up Phu Tok hill have been arranged to create 7 levels which represent the 7 stages to enlightenment in Theravada Buddhist theology. You can walk up to all 7 levels the easy way on the side of the hill which is more shallow, or the hard way via wooden walkway and steep staircases taking up you what is basically the side of a cliff. We don’t recommend this attraction for children, people with vertigo or if it’s raining because it is dangerous. There are no substantial guard rails to stop people falling off and the construction of the hanging walkways and staircases is 100% wood, and over time the wood rots until finally being replaced. At ground level the temple also has an interesting chedi with a small museum inside dedicated to monk who established the temple, Ajahn Juan, which is worth visiting on the same time as the hill.
