Amphoe Renu Nakhon
Phra That Renu Nakhon
Phra That Renu Nakhon is located 52 kilometers south of
Nakhon Phanom town on Highway No. 212. Upon reaching the kilometer
44 marker, turn right and proceed for another 7 kilometers. The
pagoda, which is 35 meters high, was built in 1918 and is a scaled
down replica of Phra That Phanom. Inside the pagoda are a Buddhist
scripture and a gold Buddha image.
Renu Nakhon is home to many Phu Thai ethnic minorities who retain
their culture, especially their dances and the custom of the Bai-Si-Su-Kwan
ceremony. This indigenous group excels weaving cotton and their
products that are highly sought after by tourists.
