Wat Si Ubon Rattanaram (Wat Sri Ubon Rattanaram) or Wat Si Thong, วัดศรีอุบลรัฅนารามหรือ วัดศรีทอง, is a royal temple near the City Hall in Ubon Ratchathani. The Ubosot
(Ordination Hall) is in the same style as Wat Benchambophit, the Marble
Temple, in Bangkok. The exterior decoration is largely in a rich, brown
lacquer and the lower part of the Ubosot windows show Thai Angels in various
poses. The principal Buddha image is known as the Topaz Buddha, Phra Kaew Busarakham (พระแก้วบุษราคัม) and is Ubon
Ratchathani's sacred image brought from Si Sattanakanahut, Laos.
