That Kong Khao Noi
Is an ancient Khmer chedi (pagoda) located at Tambon That Thong in Amphoe Muant. Its Buddha image made of bricks is reverted by the town people. Traditionally, the image is ritually bathed in the 5th Lunar month (April) in the belief that without the ceremony there will be no rain.

At Ban Nong Yang, Amphoe Maha Chanachai, is another place of interest.
