Wat Pah Thamma Uthayaan a large but rather odd Buddhist forest temple in the northeastern Thai province of Khon Kaen. The temple is located on a large domain and has a mixture of religious and secular statues and edifices.

Scattered throughout the forest in which the temple is located there are a number of spacious open-sided hangars. Each one has at its centre a large Buddhist item or a tall Buddha statue in a pose depicting one of the major scenes in the life of the Buddha.

The temple also has a section with animals, housing carp, pheasants, rabbits, turtles and tortoises, and even a crocodile, that in front of its enclosure has a statue depicting a scene from the love story Kraithong which features a giant crocodile called Chalawan (fig.).
