Thailand: Carved wooden barge boards on the eastern lower terrace entrance, Wat Pong Sanuk Tai, Lampang, Lampang Province, northern Thailand
Wat Pong Sanuk Tai or 'The Monastery of the Southern Fun Marsh' was built in the late 18th century combining Burmese and Lanna styles of architecture.<br/><br/>
The temple's mondop is one of the finest examples of its type and is a marvelous blend of Lanna and Burmese workmanship.<br/><br/>
Lampang was originally founded during the 7th century Dvaravati period. Nothing remains from these early times, but the city is rich in temples, many of which have a distinctly Burmese flavour as Lampang had a substantial Burmese population in the 19th century, most of whom were involved in the logging industry.
