Wat Chong Kham, Buddhist temple in Ban Huat, Thailand

The temple features a large chedi with traditional Thai architectural elements including detailed carvings and multiple tiered roofs adorned with decorative finials.

During the late 19th century, this temple emerged as a central religious structure in Ban Huat, incorporating elements of Pagan and Lanna architectural traditions.

Local residents gather at Wat Chong Kham for Buddhist ceremonies throughout the year, maintaining the traditions of the Shan people of Northern Thailand.

Visitors need to wear appropriate clothing covering shoulders and knees when entering the temple grounds, which remain open from sunrise to sunset.

The temple complex combines ceremonial quarters and monks' living spaces within a single teak wood building, featuring split-level roofs and precise carved decorations.
