The temple, also known as Wat Sa Prasan Suk, is located just outside Ubon Ratchathani. Visitors are greeted by a giant elephant statue at the entrance. Wat Ban Na Muang consists of two boat-shaped buildings. The most famous, located just inside the entrance, is a replica of the royal barge Suphannahong. Even the petrified rowers are represented here. The second building, at the rear of the temple grounds, is built on a small pond and culminates in an arch topped with five Naga heads.

The only way to reach the temple is by songthaew number 8; after that, the journey there on your own is difficult and long. It's best to take a taxi or tuk-tuk, or travel by car or motorbike.
