Me and my wife went to this temple, just the 2 of us. When we arrived at the temple. Area front of the temple there is a mini garden with a snake statue and two chicken statues.

This temple has a large entrance arch. This arch is made of bricks plastered with cement, decorated with Lanna style stucco patterns. And on the pillars of the wall under the arch are two statues of lions.

In addition in front of the temple, area this entrance arch are two giant statues and a name tag of the temple made of cement.

When we entered the temple. We see 4 architectures in this temple. The first architecture was a pavilion. This pavilion is built like a buddha image hall (viharn) or ordination hall (ubosot).
