Wat Tham Sri Mongkhon
is a Buddhist temple in
Nong Khai
which is home to
Tham Din Phiang (fig.), a
tunnel cave that has been formed by water erosion and
which is situated in a valley within the temple's
compound.
The cave is associated with the
naga
and is also referred to as
Tham
Phaya
Naak.
The path descending to the cave is hence lined on either
side with statues of nagas coiling onto rocks.
