This Thai temple resembles those in the northern region. The Buddha statues here are different from those in the central region. The main hall is made of wood, which seems quite old, giving it a sacred feel. The area outside the temple is spacious, making parking convenient. The restrooms are clean. There are local vendors selling regional products, resembling a small market. It's unclear if they sell every day. On the other side, where the pavilion is located, there is an old bell tower as well. If you visit Na Haeo District, I recommend visiting this temple.
