Thailand - Dan Sai, Wat Neramit Wipattasana

Wat Neramit Wipattasana is located on a hillside above the little village of Dan Sai (Loei province) and set in a manicured garden (PiP 1). This rather new temple is famous for its large ordination hall and pagoda made of red-coloured laterite, which is unlike elsewhere in Thailand. The ordination hall is surrounded by painted murals (PiP2) and columns lining the way to three golden buddhas, among them an official replica of Phra Phutthachinnarat, a revered buddha image in Phitsanulok Province.
