Sim Isan (Wat Pa Saeng Arun) The Sim Isan’s outstanding features lie in its typical shape and style, solidity, shelter as well as beauty of the murals of Mudmi patterns of the province’s famous tie-dyed silk. This has been intended for later generations to learn, treasure as well as conserve local architecture.
Wat Chai Si and Its Murals The temple being of archaeological, historical as well as social environmental importance, was declared a national ancient monument on 20 August 2001. The ordination hall – Sim or Ubosot – of this temple houses magnificent mural paintings, both inside and outside, by a folk artisan from Maha Sarakham known as Thong Thipcha.
