Wat Pa Saeng Arun, Buddhist temple in Phra Lap, Thailand.

The temple features a 60-meter-high Ubosot with a golden peak, incorporating northern Isan and central region architectural elements across its 15-meter-wide structure.

The construction of the main temple building required nine years of work and an investment of 49 million baht to complete the detailed architectural elements.

The temple walls display traditional Mudmi pattern murals and window carvings depicting stories from Maha Wetsandon Chadok, representing Buddhist teachings.

The temple maintains four separate stairways for visitors to access the main hall, with each entrance featuring protective Naga serpent statues and lion figures.

Two Gajasiha statues, combining features of elephants and lions, stand at the base of the temple facing east, crafted from sandstone for northeastern weather conditions.
