Wat Sala Loi, Nokornratchasima
 

Situated 500 meters east of the northeastern corner of the moat, from Rop Mueang Road, the temple is famous for its “bot” (preaching hall) which resembles a Chinese sailing junk. That is why the monastery got its name Wat Sala Loi, which means the temple of the floating pavilion. The bot was awarded the best avant-grade religious building by the Siam Society in 1973. Additional attractions are a large white standing Buddha enshrined inside the temple and a plaster sculpture of Thao Suranari, sitting in a praying position in the middle of a pond in front of the door.
