With brightly painted statuary that's even more bizarre than Nong Khai's Sala Kaew Ku, this wát is a perfect add-on to Phu Phrabat and even worth a trip on its own. The life-size figures around the temple grounds are acting out scenes from Isan fables and demonstrating the punishment awaiting the wicked in the Buddhist Hell.
The temple is also home to Luang Po Naak, a very holy 1200-year-old Buddha image shaded by a seven-headed naga that locals believe is responsible for many miracles.
Also known as Wat Ban Waeng, the temple is about 5km out of Ban Pheu. A túk-túk costs about 100B round trip with waiting time.
