  Wat Pah Sorayoh Ban Khum Din

 

Thailand

The entrance to Wat Pah Sorayoh Ban Khum Din, a Buddhist forest temple in Khon Kaen with a freestanding chedi (fig.), has a multi-headed, naga-bridge and gate in reddish-brown stone, reminiscent of those at Khmer-style temples in Cambodia.

 

The chapel consists of a simple sala-like open pavilion, but is enclosed with low brick walls that are decorated with bas-reliefs that depict major episodes from the life of the Buddha, as well as elephants, lotuses, and scenes of traditional village life.
