Wat Khao Anawek – Ein ruhiger Klostertempel auf der Klippe in Sa Kaeo
Heute möchten wir einen wunderschönen, jedoch noch wenig bekannten Tempel im Osten Thailands vorstellen: Wat Khao Anawek in Sa Kaeo. Der Tempel wurde auf einem Felsenhügel erbaut und bietet eine ruhige Atmosphäre, besondere Architektur und einen beeindruckenden Panoramablick über die umliegende Landschaft.
Der Weg nach oben ist kurz, aber malerisch. Oben angekommen, genießt man eine frische Brise, Stille und eine wunderschöne Aussicht über Felder, Dörfer und Wälder. Ein idealer Ort zum Meditieren, Fotografieren oder einfach zum Entspannen.
Wat Khao Anawek ist kein überfülltes Touristenziel – genau das macht ihn so besonders. Reisende, die spirituelle und ruhige Orte schätzen, werden diesen Tempel besonders lieben.
Mit MoriTour Thailand reisen Sie sicher und komfortabel zu versteckten Orten wie diesem, wo Natur, Kultur und Ruhe aufeinandertreffen.

This is a fantastic historical post! 🏛️ The ancient city of U Thong is one of Thailand’s most important, yet often overlooked, historical treasures. This site, now in Suphan Buri Province, represents the dawn of recorded history in Central Thailand and is absolutely fundamental to understanding the region’s cultural development. MoriTour’s choice to feature this historical gem highlights their commitment to high-value, enriching Thailand VIP Touren that connect guests with the deepest roots of Southeast Asian civilization!
💖👑 U Thong: The First City-State of Dvaravati
The specific temple, Wat Khao Anawek, sits in the area of Mueang U Thong, which is a major archaeological site that long predates the great Thai kingdoms of Sukhothai and Ayutthaya. U Thong was the earliest and one of the most influential centers of the Dvaravati civilization (6th to 11th centuries) in the region now known as Central Thailand.
Birthplace of Buddhism: U Thong is widely considered the first city-state in present-day Central Thailand to adopt and practice Theravada Buddhism (the prevailing faith today), having received the faith directly from India through international maritime trade as early as the 1st to 3rd centuries CE (source: Discovering Dvaravati – Nation Thailand).
International Hub: Its location, when the shoreline was much closer, made it a critical international maritime trading hub (some argue it was the legendary Suvarnabhumi or “Land of Gold”). Artifacts found here include foreign goods like Roman coins and Persian wares.
Art Style: The archaeological finds define the U Thong art style, characterized by distinctive Buddha images that are more solid and corporeal, showing strong Mon and early Khmer influences (source: History of Thai Buddha statues – U Thong buddha statues).
🗿 Mon-Khmer Legacy and Modern Tributes
The entire civilization was driven by the Mon people, a group whose language is related to Cambodian (Khmer) and who were vital in transmitting Theravada Buddhism throughout mainland Southeast Asia.
Monumental Carving: The historical significance of U Thong continues today through monumental projects. For example, nearby sites, such as the contemporary Wat Khao Tham Thiam, feature a massive, 108-meter tall Buddha image carved directly into a cliff face, a stunning modern tribute to the area’s spiritual legacy (source: 2025 Recommended Attraction in U Thong – Trip.com Singapore).
Regional Connection: The rise of the Khmer Empire from Cambodia (9th to 13th centuries) eventually led to the decline of Dvaravati. However, the cultural influence flowed both ways, with Mon culture shaping the aesthetics and religion of the entire region, creating a rich shared history that extends to modern Laos as well.
