Wat Maruekhathayawan, Buddhist temple in Sakhrai, Thailand.
The temple features traditional Thai architectural elements with columns, tiered roofs, and ornate decorations that reflect regional building techniques.
Throughout centuries, Wat Maruekhathayawan has maintained its position as a central religious institution for the local Buddhist community in northeastern Thailand.
The temple functions as an educational center where monks teach meditation techniques and Buddhist principles to both Thai residents and international visitors.
