Phra That Renu Nakhon is located 52 kilometers
south of Nakhon Phanom town on Highway No. 212. Upon reaching the
kilometer 44 marker, turn right and proceed for another 7 kilometers.
The pagoda, which is 35 meters high, was built in 1918 and is a scaled
down replica of Phra That Phanom. Inside the pagoda are a Buddhist
scripture and a gold Buddha image.
Renu Nakhon is home to many Phu Thai ethnic
minorities who retain their culture, especially their dances and the
custom of the Bai-Si-Su-Kwan ceremony. This indigenous group excels
weaving cotton and their products that are highly sought after by
tourists.
