Phra
That Si Song Rak Temple
 Phra
That Si Song Rak was constructed between 1560 and 1563 by
King Chakraphat of Ayutthaya and King Chai Chetta of Lan Xang
of Laos, in order to commemorate mutual collaboration between
the two of Kingdoms. Over 30 meters high, Phra That Si Song
Rak has a majestic chapel containing a gilded statue of the
Buddha protected by a naga and a tall Laotian-style lotus-bud.
Also noteworthy is a fascinating chedi with a gold motif at
each corner. Annually attended by thousands of people, Phra
That Si Song Rak is located on the bank of Man River, 83 km
from Loei.
