Phrathat Yakhu represents the most significant site in Fa Daed Song Yang City. This 15-meter high, octagonal brick stupa is the city’s largest, with its base reflecting the art of the Dvaravati period and the upper part showcasing Ayutthaya period influences, further adorned in a local northeastern style during the Rattanakosin period. In 1983, 11 sema stones were returned to their suspected original location. Annually, in May, local villagers orchestrate the ‘Bung Fai’ or bamboo rocket festival at Ban Sema, aiming to secure rain and prosperity for the community.
