Some information may have been translated by Google Translate
WatPaHuak Temple is located at the northwest entrance of Phousi Mountain and is known as the "Monastery in the Bamboo Forest". It was built by PhayaSiMahanam in 1861. The gables of the temple are decorated with wood and mosaics, which are damaged but do not hide their splendor. The temple has frescoes from the early 19th century. These frescoes, which have never been restored, retain their perfect color. The murals depict historical scenes along the Mekong River, including diplomatic missions from China, arriving warriors and merchants on horseback, and scenes of everyday life. Temples are usually deserted, but when it comes to festivals, people come to pray in an endless stream.

佛教庙宇很精致。。。。。。。。
