中间寺（Wat Matchimavasa），原名为诺那玛凯（Wat Non Mak Khaeng），是曾经的废弃寺庙。据传，该寺庙的遗迹有两个主要证据：一座位于诺那（Don）的石砖佛塔，以及一尊白色的石佛，姿态为虫神覆法（现称为龙普诺卡）。该佛像如今供奉在寺庙的显眼位置，吸引了来自乌隆府及周边县市人们的朝拜，成为了中间寺的一大亮点。

中间寺于1957年5月7日获得皇室允许，正式建立为三级王室寺庙，位于乌隆府市郡的玛卡莘（Mak Khaeng）区，占地15亩1顷，周围被四条道路环绕：东边为玛卡莘路及杜萨迪街，南面接壤瓦塔娜路，北侧为喷披萨路，距皇家乌隆府法院仅40米，靠近乌隆府红十字会和公共卫生局约30米，距省政府大楼约120米，后面邻近乌隆技术学院约30米，距市镇市政厅约250米。

在泰国历史上，中间寺结合了地域文化和历史。最初，由于第5代国王的旨意，军队高级指挥官帕查克西拉博姆曾在此废弃寺庙基础上建立了中间寺，并将龙普诺卡尊像供奉在主殿内，于2437年获得正式的合法地位。1951年，寺庙的主持神父泰帕威苏提恭对主殿进行了大规模更新，也重新装饰了龙普诺卡，并对其进行了修复，形成较为独特的外观。

龙普诺卡，白色石雕，原本置于废弃的诺那玛凯寺庙，是当地村民心中的圣像。在每年的水灯节和砍炮节上，村民们会聚集在一起，为这尊佛像进行洗礼和祭祀，此传统已传承至今。当中间寺建立后，龙普诺卡成为乌隆府的象征，寺所的标志上也进一步描绘了龙普诺卡的形象。

经过修复后的龙普诺卡，采用白色石材并包括传统的装饰，坐高260厘米，宽104厘米，深受乌隆人民的敬仰。如今，其不仅是中间寺的标志，也被视作乌隆府的守护神，世代相传。

Wat Matchimawasi, a royal temple, has a rich history that dates back to when it was originally known as Wat Non Mak Khaeng, an abandoned temple. Evidence confirming its status as a deserted site rests on two notable artifacts: the laterite chedi situated on the hill, and the white stone Buddha in the Naga posture (currently revered as Luang Pu Nak) housed within the chedi. Today, the white stone Buddha has been relocated to the front of the ordination hall, allowing residents of Udon Thani and nearby provinces to pay their respects. This Buddha statue has become famous for its sanctity, deeply intertwined with the identity of Wat Matchimawasi.

Originally named Wat Non Mak Khaeng, the temple was granted royal recognition and established as a third-class royal temple on May 7, 1964. Located in the Mak Khaeng sub-district of Udon Thani, the temple spans an area of 15 rai and 1 ngan, surrounded by roads on all four sides – the east flanked by Mak Khaeng Road and Dussadee Road, the south by Watthana Road, and the north by Phonpisai Road. It lies in close proximity to various government locations, being just 40 meters from the Udon Thani Provincial Court, about 30 meters from the Red Cross Station 9, and approximately 120 meters away from the Provincial Hall. Directly behind it is Udon Thani Technical School, roughly 30 meters away, and about 250 meters from the Udon Thani Municipality Office. Additionally, it is located in a central area among several neighborhoods, including Huai Ban, Non, Mak Khaeng, Thung Sawang, and Kok Wua.

In the reign of King Rama V, Major General Phra Chao Boromwongthoe Krom Luang Prajak Silapakom, the royal governor of northern provinces, initiated the restoration of Wat Non Mak Khaeng, leading to its re-establishment as a functioning temple. Renamed Wat Matchimawasi around 1893, it has since been recognized as a vital part of Udon Thani’s spiritual heritage. The statue of Luang Pu Nak, considered sacred, was discovered in this ancient site, and locals from Mak Khaeng and surrounding areas have continued the tradition of conducting water-pouring ceremonies during Songkran and participating in the rocket festival.

In 1894, a new ordination hall was constructed at the site of the abandoned temple, and Luang Pu Nak was ceremonially installed as the principal Buddha image. Recognized officially with a boundary decree on January 27, 1894, the temple has undergone various renovations since. In 1951, Phra Thep Visutthacharn, the abbot, undertook the restoration of the ordination hall and renovated the statue of Luang Pu Nak, encasing the original statue within.

Luang Pu Nak is crafted from white stone, standing 104 centimeters wide at the lap, and 260 centimeters tall (the statue itself is 149 centimeters high). As a symbol of Udon Thani, Wat Matchimawasi sees reverent believers bringing gold leaf to honor this revered statue, which remains an essential emblem of the temple's identity, represented in its logo with an image of the Naga posture Buddha. The artistry reflects the Rattanakosin style and signifies the lasting significance of this sacred site within Udon Thani, where Luang Pu Nak continues to preside over the temple.
