Yokesone Monastery, Salay, Buddhist monastery in Salay, Myanmar.

The wooden monastery, elevated 10 feet above ground, features 153 teak posts exceeding 3 feet in diameter throughout its grand structure.

Built in 1882 during King Thibaw's reign, the monastery transformed from a residence for monks into a museum displaying artifacts in 1996.

The monastery walls contain detailed woodcarvings that narrate stories from Jataka tales, depicting Buddhist teachings through traditional Burmese craftsmanship.

The museum section displays an ancient Buddha image, 19th-century Yadanabon period utensils, and a large throne once used by senior monks.

A small building behind the monastery exhibits works by U Ponnya, a distinguished Burmese playwright favored in King Mindon's court.
