Phra That Kong Khao Noi

Phra That Kong Khao Noi - ubon

Phra That Kong Khao Noi is an ancient stupa or Chedi, a structure that enshrines holy Buddhist relics. Built during the 18th-20th century in the late Ayutthaya period, the small, square brick pagoda has a distinctive spire. The middle part of the structure is ornamented with decorative doors on all four sides. A brick wall surrounds the pagoda. A sacred Buddha image is also located behind the pagoda. Legend has it that it was built by a young farmer who was repentant after murdering his mother. In a tale that aims to teach forbearance, it is said that the young farmer grew irate when a lunchbox packed by his mother seemed to have a tiny amount of rice. Furious, he killed his mother. It was only when he discovered that there was in fact so much rice he could not finish his lunch, as it was packed tightly, that he realized his folly.

The stupa is located in the rice paddies of Tambon Tatthong. It is 9 kilometers from Yasothon town. Take Highway No. 23 (Yasothon-Ubon Ratchathani Road), and turn at Km. 194. Continue for 1 more kilometer to reach the stupa.

- My travels and everyday life Between Thailand and the United States. I Have been going to Thailand one to two times a year since 2014 to see family and enjoy the beautiful Country that I was born in. I just recently received my Thai citizenship ID and Thai passport. I haven't been to Thailand since I was born until 2014. It changed my life completely. I have a lifetime of catching up to do with all my Thai family. I also decided recently to start taking video of my travels to Thailand.

- What does my name Farang LUKE Isaan! mean? = Everyone at my Grandmas Village started calling me that so I decided to use that name on my channel. Farang means westerners or foreigners. luke or lôok means son or daughter. Parents will tend to refer to their child as lôok rather than using any of the second-person pronouns. and Isaan (Isan, Issan, Isaan, And Even Esan) means the northeastern part of Thailand.

Attraction No. 1: Buffalo and newly built bridge วังอิผุยพลเทพ เมืองสรวง ร้อยเอ็ด
We take the short cut road and will drive along the rice field edge. Hopefully, we can also spot some cute water buffaloes on our way to the bridge. This kind of buffalo isn’t closely related to the African buffalo even though they look similar. Water buffaloes in Asia aren’t dangerous and so they’re domesticated. To the farmers, water buffalo is their best friend. Do you know that water buffalo is native to South East Asia and Indian Subcontinent? And it’s a cultural symbol of Thailand? In the past, farmers depended more on water buffaloes to work in rice fields. Sadly, their population is very low and endangered nowadays. It’s always declined in the past few decades. The 14th of May each year is a Thai Water Buffalo Conservation Day nationwide. In the past few years, many towns had been successful in holding different activities or events to mark the day. These included unforgettable and extraordinary buffalo’s wedding, or an impressive contest of beautiful buffaloes.

Attraction No. 2: That Kong Khao Noi พระธาตุก่องข้าวน้อย ตาดทอง ยโสธร
I’m at That Kong Khao Noi now. It’s the first place for today. That Kong Khao Noi is a captivating ancient pagoda dating back in 24th Buddhist century. This was probably during the late Ayutthaya period or equivalently during the 19th century A.D. It’s located at Ban Tad Thong in Yosothon, 9 km. from the city. This’s a unique place to learn some more history about Yasothon. It’s a must visit when you are here. This’s a well-known story among Thai children. Once upon a time, during the rainy season, Thong is a young rice farmer aged 30. He’s no father and lives with his elderly mother. One day, he went to the rice farm very early in the morning. However, in the afternoon, he felt exhausted and was very hungry. Unlike other days, his mother brought him a lunch box late on that day. Thong stopped working in the field and rested under a tree waiting for his mother to deliver some food. When he saw his mother coming, he was very upset. He asked his mother “why do you bring such a small box of rice?” “It won’t be enough for me”. Thong didn’t want to listen to his mother anymore and so he hit his mother so hard till dead. After he was full but he didn’t even finish the whole box of rice. He realized that he has just murdered his mom. He cried so hard but there was nothing he could do to save her life. Later Thong decided to build a pagoda to dedicate to his deceased mother. He intended to keep her bones in it. He constructed the pagoda that looks like the shape of a box of rice.
However, many critics still argue that this pagoda isn’t the one built by the young ordinary farmer due to its size is too large for a person to build. They argue that there’s a smaller one in a different town of which they consider to be built by the young man. Around the pagoda, you can see a lot of models including cows, buffaloes, elephants and roosters. The pagoda is in the middle of a small but remarkable rice field with the brick pillars to the side. The brick wall also surrounds the square pagoda.

If this is more of your style, this city will provide an unforgettable experience. Some historians say that the construction of the pagoda is related to a folktale saying that villagers heard about a renovation of Phra That Phanom so they collected valuable items and holy objects among themselves to be put in it according to their belief. While on the way to Phra That Phanom which is situated in the nearby province, villagers were told by another group who has just returned that the renovation has been completed. Villagers then decided to use their valuables to build That Kong Khao Noi instead. It’s registered as a national ancient monument since 1936 or over 80 years ago.

Attraction No. 3: Song Yae Catholic Church โบสถ์คริสต์บ้านซ่งแย้ ยโสธร
This's the majestic church built in Thai style. The Tourism Authority of Thailand announces that this place has a unique cultural heritage and so lists this site as the ‘unseen Thailand’. It’s located in Ban Nong Sonyae in Thai Charoen district, north-east of Yasothon. Found in early 1900s, this church is now over 100 years since it’s initially built. It’s gone through several renovations from a very tiny hut to the current version renovated in 1947. This’s considered the largest wooden Catholic Church in Thailand. This Church has 360 wooden piles and over 80,000 pieces of wooden roof.

A Query to the Sublime

I mixture of travels, quests, and visions. Footage and thoughts were composed in Sisaket, Ubon Ratchathani, and Yasothon provinces. I took my she beast for a couple of spins--name yet to be given--if there is one for such a motorbike. She will make an appearance later.

Got to see a mix of ancient Khmer ruins, modern temples, and 18th-ish century stupas (Phra That Kong Khao Noi).

Listening is a more natural way of learning, when compared to reading. Written language only began at around 3200 BC, but spoken language has existed long ago.

Learning by listening is a great way to:
- increases imagination and understanding
- improves your listening skills
- improves your own spoken accent
- learn while on the move
- reduce eye strain

Now learn the vast amount of general knowledge available on Wikipedia through audio (audio article). You could even learn subconsciously by playing the audio while you are sleeping! If you are planning to listen a lot, you could try using a bone conduction headphone, or a standard speaker instead of an earphone.
