In 2017 we did visit the Wat Pa Phu Kon temple, located in the mountains of Phu Kon along the Thai-Lao border in the north-west of Udon Thani province. In the middle of nowhere! It is a kind of meditation temple that is also visited by many Thai & Lao people. I would call it a tourist attraction, beautiful build on a beautiful location. If you are travelling with your own car, be aware that the last part of the road leading to the parking place is steep, very steep. Following are more photos of the beautiful Buddha images and details of the interior of the temple. In hindsight it is actually a bit a pity that one can build something here in the mountains and forrest.
