Ban Khok can be explored through two themes: nature and conservation attractions, and religious sites. The places mentioned are in Village 7, Ban Khok Subdistrict, within the municipality. For orientation, it is worth distinguishing their different focuses: Hin Um Bat and Hin Rup Sing highlight the natural environment, while Doi Phra That combines a view over Ban Khok with the veneration of the sacred Phra That. There are also two other statues, each with its own name and location.

Nature and Conservation Attractions

Hin Um Bat and Hin Rup Sing are nature and conservation attractions in Village 7, Ban Khok Subdistrict, Ban Khok District, Uttaradit Province. They are two named destinations in the same category. This makes it easy to distinguish the nature and conservation focus from the religious sites, without conflating the two Hin names into a single destination. If you want to explore Ban Khok by theme, these two attractions form the nature-focused part of the selection; Doi Phra That and the statues offer different points of interest. The contrast between nature and conservation, scenic views, and religious devotion makes the selection easier to understand than a simple list of names.

Religious Sites and Statues

The hill Doi Phra That is in Village 7, Ban Khok Subdistrict. From there, you can enjoy a 180-degree view of Ban Khok; the site also provides an opportunity to venerate the sacred Phra That. The hill therefore brings together two distinct interests: views of Ban Khok and veneration of the Phra That at the same location.

The 97th statue, Phra Luang Pho Thanjai, is also located on the hill. Locals also call it Phra Yai. It is located in Village 7, Ban Khok Nai, Ban Khok Subdistrict. The number 97 and the local name Phra Yai distinguish this statue among Ban Khok’s religious sites; they also place it on the same hill as the viewpoint over Ban Khok and the site for venerating the Phra That.

Wat Pho Chai Si is home to Phra Luang Pho Siang Thai, a Buddha statue carved from teakwood. Residents of Ban Khok Subdistrict venerate it. The temple is in Village 7, Ban Khok Subdistrict, Ban Khok District, Uttaradit Province. Here, the statue’s material and carving are as notable as the veneration it receives from residents; its location in the temple gives it a different setting from the statue on Doi Phra That.

The two statues can be distinguished by their different features: Phra Luang Pho Thanjai is identified by its number and local name, while Phra Luang Pho Siang Thai is identified by its teakwood, carving, and location at Wat Pho Chai Si. Their religious significance can thus be distinguished by name, material, and location.
