Wat Ban Rai near Dankhuntod is another location one shouldn't be missing when visiting Korat. Not only for the beauty of the wat, but rather for a blessing by one of Thailand's most famous monks, Luang Phor Khoon Parisuttho, born Oct 4,1922. Luang Phor Khoon is said to have helped many people directly and using the donations to the temple for supporting schools and universities. He is one of Korat's top celebrities. He passed away at age 92 on May 16,2015.
