Wat Kham Chanot is a Buddhist temple located near a place called Ban Kham Chanot village in Udon Thani Province and sits close to a lake in Wang Nakhin area where a mythical snake named Naga lord Sisotho is believed to live. It is also believed that this place is the gateway to the mystical water world which is the true home of the Naga. Therefore, worship of this mythical Naga is the main feature of Wat Kham Chanot who is believed to have a hide-out here. However it is interesting to note that it is a forest monastery where about ten monks reside at present.
Interestingly, Wat Kham Chanot temple is linked to another Wat via a bridge which is 100 meters in length.
