Wat Sa Bo Kaeo is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking Nam Khu Road, Thailand
This is different to the normal Thai temples as it has been built more in the Burmese style of Buddhist temples. Indeed I understand that many of the Burmese monks who come to Thailand to study Buddhism will base themselves at this temple rather than one of the more traditional Thai style temples.The main ubosot/bot, with an impressive many tiered, staggered roof, is built in wood and is up the stairs on the upper floor. Instead of the more Thai style main Buddha statue and then smaller shrines to the side, Wat Sa Bo Kaeo has number of separate Buddha (including one with a marble Buddha) shrines all round the sides of the room – though some are clearly more ‘important’ than others. The style of the shrines is also generally quite different to the normal Thai styles. One thing I particularly likes about the room was that at one end on the verandah by the hall, there was a number of large teak comfortable chairs where one could watch or just chill. Indeed, despite the heat outside, the bot felt nice and cool.Outside another distinctive feature at the temple was that right outside the bot there was a large bronze(?) statue of a monk looking to the Heavens. This monk is particularly well known for granting wishes, though only one wish, in return for an offering, so use the opportunity while you are there. Again, the style is quite different from most Thai statues. There is also a small Burmese style chedi further in the grounds.One last thing I particularly liked was that a lot of the stone plant pots and other items were painted a pleasing shade of pink, very colourful. An enjoyable visit and when we were there, there were no other visitors at all – but then it was lunchtime.
Interesting Burmese style wat with a striking tower with multi-teired square roofs fringed in gingerbread designs. In front of the tower is a forest of little golden stupads and Buddha images.
A Burmese style temple. I liked the outside that was beatiful. The inside was not that good. And I also liked all the golden Buddha statues in the trees behind the temple.
Here is Myanmar with Lanna tradition temple. That’s mean like north tradition of Thailand. If you want to see the local tradition. I recommend Wat sa bo kaeo temple.
This is a very nice Tai Yai (Myanmar) style temple in Phrae. There are 2 Buddha statue, Phra Upacud and Phra Bua Kem. If you need something such as your higher job, working rank or business, you can beg them and when you have got what you prayed, you should come back and making merit with 9 types of fruits, 9 jasmine garlang and money.
This temple dates from the late nineteenth century, a time when the British had major timber concessions in the Phrae area and sometimes brought in Burmese workers. This Burmese-style wat, with its multi-tiered roof and yellow fretwork, is a product of that period of history. The main hall was closed during our visit but we wandered around the grounds and had a look at what amounts to a kind of sculpture garden. It was all of rather minor interest.
The two Shan temples are notable for their wooden structures, which have a different kind of charm from the usual Thai ones. The oddest feature, however, is the chedi (stupa), newly spiffed up in pink (yes, pink) and gold, with some bright blue clad guardian figures.
