He invested his savings and donated funds into the construction. The project progressed slowly and is expected to be completed in 2070. Its construction was inspired by the teachings of Buddha to the world. ✔️Architectural features The main color is plain white, symbolizing the purity of the Buddha, and the silver mirror rim represents the Buddha's wisdom radiating around the world. The exterior walls of the temple are decorated with mirror fragments, and the pediment windows are decorated in the shapes of Nagas, elephants, and umbrellas. The roof, walls, and base of the main building of the Buddhist hall are all pure white. There are large hand-painted murals of Buddha statues inside, and a magnificent bathroom. ✔️The meaning of Naihe Bridge On both sides of the Naihe Bridge at the entrance are sculptures of struggling hands and skulls, symbolizing the souls in hell waiting for redemption, and warning people to abandon evil and embrace good, and not to turn back after crossing the Naihe Bridge. ✔️Visit information - ✨Opening hours: 08:00-17:00 - 💰Ticket price: 100 baht - ⚠️Note: You must dress appropriately, you cannot wear shorts, short skirts, sleeveless, shoulderless or navel-baring clothing, etc. You must take off your shoes, glasses, and hats when entering the temple, and photography is prohibited; no physical contact with monks is allowed.
