Description: |
|
Phra That Phu Phek is an ancient stupa located on a mountain in
Tambon Na Hua Bo, once part of a Khmer religious compound. After
ascending 491 steps, visitors can enjoy a rest amidst beautiful
views of the surroundings as well as the laterite pagoda, which
sits on a laterite base. Seemingly unfinished because it has no
roof or pagoda top, it was built in the mid 10th-11th century.
Moreover, the
stupa is home toa solar calendar and a cube-shaped rock. It is
believed that the area’s ancient inhabitants utilized the stupa
to indicate the position of the sun for religious rites and
agricultural planning. |
