Wat Marukkharam Nakhon - 50 Meter Chedi - Dedicated to King Rama IX - Nakhon Phanom Thailand 2023
Phra That Marukkha Nakhon was built in 1993 similar to Phra That Phanom but slightly smaller. The base is 20 meters wide on each side and 50.9 meters tall. It was built to commemorate king Rama IX’S 50th anniversary on the throne.
The original Wat Marukkha Nakhon was built almost three hundred years ago by Royal Lord Mayor of Marukkha Nakhon. Until 1767 it was a very prosperous city temple. The city was eroded by water, the banks of the Mekong River collapsed, causing an epidemic and many people died. After the flood it was decided to establish a new town in Ban Nong Chan Subdistrict Tha Kho, Mueang District. The houses and temple were abandoned at this point.
Inside the main hall there are many sacred relics stored inside cabinets. These relics were found on the temple grounds and in the river over the years and are now stored inside the temple.
The interior of the chapel is free to visit. Visitors pay homage to the Presidential Shrine of Pu Khom, 3 Nagas and Guan Yin Bodhisattva statue. In addition, the relics face forward to the north. This is the regular direction of those born on a Wednesday evening. So for Thais that are born Wednesday evenings this temple has special meaning to them.
The temple is a fairly new construction but it was replicated on the ruins of the old temple that was abandoned. The styling of the Chedi makes it worth a visit to see.
