This temple is located in Tambon Mak Khaeng. During the reign of King
Rama V, Krommaluang Prachaksinlapakhom commanded the construction of a
new temple to replace Wat Non Mak Khaeng, the old deserted temple, and
named it “Wat Matchimawat.” Within its Wihan building, there is a white
stone Buddha image under Naga (serpent) protection, or commonly known
as “Luangpho Nak,” which has been highly respected by the people of
Udon Thani.
