I First went there in 2006 and just spent a few hours. Was amazed how old and still being used by the local people. The spires were leaning. Over the years, I have made a trip at least once a year and the spires were leaning even more. In 2007 there was work started and my last visit 2013 lot of construction but they were standing straight. Not visited by many. I have never seen a tourist, just the village people. It is near Uthumphon Phisai which is near Sisaket Thailand. Many of these old shrines in Issan. I have noticed that on one Thai web site and map, it listed this shrine in the wrong location. Not even close. GPS MAP When I first visited the shrines there was a statue and a stone tablet that I stopped seeing around 2009. I hope they were not stolen. There are many monks in the area but my Thai is very limited. Issan is ofter over looked by tourist but they is rich history and culture here. The food is famous through out Thailand.
The statue and stone tablet as seen before 2009
There is a Wat that has been under construction for many years being built by locals
some more from 2006 to 2013

Wat Yai Chai Mongkol, is situated to the southeast of the city. The large chedi there can be seen from a great distance. This monastery was built by King U-Thong which exhumed the bodies of Chao Kaeo and Chao Thai who died of cholera, and cremated in 1357. The monastery was dedicated to the monks who had gone to study practical Buddhism in Ceylon. As the group gained the popularity, the King then appointed the head of the sect to become Somdet Phra Wannarat or the right supreme Patriarch. The temple was finally rebuilt in memorial of King Naresuan the Great for his victory over the Burmese. Considering its architectural design, experts believe the stupa was built even before Ayutthaya was founded. King Naresuan the Great had it restored and built some additions to commemorate his great victory in battle over the Burmese. He named it “Chai Mongkol” or “Auspicious Victory”
