Built during the reign of King Rama III , the Wat Thung Si Mueang Temple incorporates a mix of Lao and Rattanakosin styles . The interior contains ancient mural paintings illustrating themes from King Rama ’ s reign , alongside a wooden Tripitaka Library . The build has been placed above the pond with the use of wooden stilts to ensure insects could not reach the materials inside the area , creating a charming structure that is still popular with tourists and locals within the region .
