Wat Phra Srimahapo

TIME : 2016/2/17 17:05:21

Wat Srimahapo , sometimes called Wat Pho Si, is in Ban Wan Yai. You’d never expect its tiny bòht, built in 1916, to be worth a look, but inside, elaborately carved beams hold up the tin roof and interesting naive murals cover the walls. The Buddhas that greet you once had holes cut over their hearts to receive blessings, but they have since been filled. The monks’ residence is classical French style and a couple of longboats are stored here between races.
