A 'City Pillar Shrine' represents the spirit of each province and city of Thailand. In Thai the term is 'Lak Mu-eang' (very difficult for a westerner to pronounce). Every Thai province has an official shrine, and, in addition, a number of district capitals (the level of government below a province), also possess shrines, smaller in size than the provincial level shrine.

The shrine of the small town and district of Suwannaphum, which is located in the south of the province of Roi-Et, is found near the centre of the town. It is a small, open structure, ~4m on a side. It has a Thai style construction, and it is well designed and maintained.
