The Dharma path to Wat Tham Sung Doi Sawan, Ban Kaeng Subdistrict, Na Kae District, Nakhon Phanom Province is a winding path through Phu Phan Noi Forest, Phu Pha Yon National Park, for almost 5 kilometers in the middle of a lush forest. The villagers believe that this is a sacred land and has historical significance because it used to be a meditation site for a famous forest monk, 'Luang Pu Man Phurithatto'. Later, Luang Pu Son Khampee Yano, known as the Bodhisattva of Phu Phan Mountain, a disciple of Luang Pu Man, came to develop it into a meditation site at Wat Tham Sung Doi Sawan, until it became well-known among the religious, especially during the Buddhist Lent festival, when many peopl e and tourists come to visit and make merit to ask for blessings from Phra Ajahn Phanomphon, a disciple of Luang Pu Son, the current abbot, for good fortune. Wat Tham Sung Doi Sawan, in addition to being a religious tourism destination, is also an unseen natural tourist destination of Nakhon Phanom. The path up the mountain is 5 kilometers long, but it is easy to travel. Luang Pu Son also developed and built an ancient wooden balcony on a high cave near the cliff to be used as a place for meditation. There is also a wooden sermon hall on the high mountain. You can see the scenery on top of Phu Phan Noi mountain in 360 degrees, which is very beautiful. Both those who are religious and those who are nature lovers, if you have the chance, don't miss visiting. Source: Thai News Agency
