Wat Mai - beautiful by an old architecture of culture   

 

Wat Mai   Souwannaphummaham 

 
Built in 1796, Vat mai (New Monastery) was given its present name following the restoration undertaken in 1821 by King Manthathourat.
Notice the 4- tiered roof when visiting the temple, as well as the scenes from daily life and the leend of vessantara on the bas-relief walls.
