Wat Chai Mongkhon, Buddhist temple near Ping River in Chang Khlan, Thailand.
The temple features a Lanna-style viharn with multi-tiered roofs, decorated with nagas on bargeboards and distinct chofas combining bird bodies with elephant heads.
Dating from the 16th century, the temple experienced abandonment during Burmese occupation until King Kawila restored it following their removal from the region.
The interior walls display extensive murals depicting Buddha's life stories and Jataka tales, while the main altar houses a Buddha image in Subduing Mara mudra.
Located at 133 Charoen Prathet Road, the temple welcomes visitors daily between 5:00 AM and 6:00 PM without charging an entrance fee.
The temple includes a Chinese pavilion where worshipers honor Guan Yin and maintains animal release shops operated by monks for merit-making practices.
