These demons are the villains in the Ramakien drama, the Thai version of the Hindu Ramayana epic. Demons at the gate – Sahassadecha (right) and Thossakun (left). Go through this gate and enter a room leading to another door with murals painted on them. The ubosot is the inner courtyard through the door the ubosot or ordination hall is in an inner courtyard. It has a two-tiered roof with chofars, door frames and colorful porcelain walls lined with gilded borders. A covered passageway, phra rabiengkote, lines the walls around the ubosot. The passage is lined with 120 Buddha statues in the sitting position. These statues were cast in the reign of King Rama II. The remains of deceased are kept in cubicles below the statues. The interior of the ubosot is really beautiful. Colorful murals line the walls from the floor to the ceiling. A lady was seated in one of chairs at the back wall, in deep contemplation. That is just the place for it.
