Wat Chao Nuea, Buddhist temple in Ban Rai, Thailand
The monastery contains a white Ubosot with decorated gables and a two-story Sala building adorned with three Prang structures on its roof.
The temple maintains strong connections to the former chief abbot Luang Po Huan, whose preserved body rests in a gold-leaf covered transparent coffin within the Sala.
The temple gables feature intricate carvings depicting Indra riding Erawan, the three-headed elephant, representing important elements of Thai Buddhist mythology.
Located at coordinates N 13°35'53 E 99°54'6, the temple stands 42 miles west of Bangkok, making it accessible for visitors exploring Ratchaburi Province.
The ground floor of the Sala houses multiple Buddha statues alongside wall murals illustrating significant events from Buddhist teachings.
