 Description:   Luang Pho Sian Nakhon is the highly revered Buddha statue of townspeople, stands at Bunnak Rakkhitaram Temple (Wat Tam) in Muang district. It is believed to have been built in Sukhothai period. During an excavation at a whisky brewery, located near Wat Nang Hong, in the year 1952, the head of a Buddha image was found. The head was kept at a school then known as Nayok Phitthaya School (at present no longer exists), later it was enshrined at Wat Bunnak Rakkitaram. In 1968, the rest of the parts of the Buddha image other than the Buddha’s head were recreated and a new chapel was constructed to house the new complete Buddha image. Since then, the Buddha image came to be known as "Luang Pho Sian Nakhon".
