Wat Pa Phukon in Na Yung District, Udon Thani Province
A recent post on Prime1Sky Facebook page shows a marvellous camera drone video (posted below) of Wat Pa Phukon in Udon Thani Province. The temple is in Na Yung District in the far northwest corner of Udon Thani Province and is approximately 125 kilometres from the provincial capital.
Wat Pa Phukon was only built a couple of years ago and the temple houses a reclinng Buddha carved from white Italian marble. The temple and compound has become a popular tourist attraction and is not too far from Na Yung – Nam Som National Park.
Na Yung District was part of Nam Som District until January 1, 1988 when Na Yung was given minor district status. On September 7, 1995 it was elevated to full district status.
