🛕Ancient golden teak temple @ Wat Nantaram, Phayao Province

Wat Nantaram is located in Ban Kon Sai, in the municipality of Tambon Chiang Kham, Phayao Province. This place is outstanding with the ancient golden teak wood temple, almost 100 years old, built in 1925. It is made entirely of golden teak wood in the lower Burmese style. The roof is in the Yuan Tat Nga Chin style, with a tiered roof covered with shingles and decorated with carved patterns, a technique of carved wood influenced by the Western influence. The exterior is divided into 3 sections. The highest section is called "Para Section", which is where the Buddha image is enshrined. The lowest section in front of the porch is called "Taka Phaka Ma Section", which is where the laity sit. The section that is separated to the west is called "Sangha Section", which is the abbot's residence. Inside the temple, there are 3 levels. The highest level is the Buddha level, and the next level is the monk's level. The last floor is the seat of the male and female lay devotees. There are 68 pillars in this temple, 64 of which are lacquered and gilded, and the ceiling is decorated with beautiful stained glass in the style of Burmese Mandalay. In addition, the area around the temple is also very beautiful. For anyone who comes to Phayao, I recommend that you stop by this temple. It is truly beautiful as its name suggests. 📌 The temple is located in Village No. 13, Yuan Subdistrict, Chiang Kham District, Phayao Province. 📌 Location: https://goo.gl/maps/f72b3xm5z5dpv8fZ8 #Phayao #BeautifulTemplesAroundThailand #VisitPhayao
