This temple is located two kilometers outside the town of Dansai in Loei Province and one kilometer from the other sacred temple, Wat Phra That Si Song Rak. Perched high on a hill, it is a significant temple in the region and contains many interesting features. First, there is the 40-meter-wide and 80-meter-long ordination hall with its vibrant murals, considered the largest ordination hall in Thailand. Its walls are made of laterite from the provinces of Lamphun and Prachinburi. Here, a replica of the Phra Phuttha Chinnarat, a revered Buddha statue from the great temple in Phitsanulok, is housed. Another highlight is the Phrakhru Phawana Wisutthiyan Mondop, also made of laterite. It contains a wax figure of the revered monk Luang Pho Maha Phan Sila Wisuttho, the temple's founder, as well as his incorruptible remains, which are kept here for disciples and devotees to pay their respects. There is also a pretty fountain, a large archway marking the entrance to the temple... All this in a pleasant wooded area.

You should easily find a tuk-tuk in the streets of Dansai that will take you to Wat Neramit Wipatsana.
