Phetchabun houses one of Thailand’s most attractive and colorful temples, the Wat Phra Sorn Kaew. The very richly decorated temple sits on top of a hill with great views of the surrounding mountainous area. The main pagoda is adorned with several million very colorful mosaic tiles. A large platform next to the pagoda carries five images of the Buddha surrounded by lotus flowers. The Wat Phra Sorn Kaew is a center for Buddhist teachings and meditation, a peaceful place surrounded by nature. The temple which was founded in 2004 has recently been completed and is open to visitors.
