            PaintingThe paintings of 550 Jataka tales
Ubosot walls are divided into equal sized squares decorated by Kranok pattern frames. Each square is painted a different tale and there is a message written on the bottom of painting. Each story is represented through an important event in each life. Pictures of significant people, for examples, Bodhisattva, angels, and a king with gilded attire, all act according to Natyalakshana (the characteristics of dance art that classify each character). The buildings styles are traditional Thai style and Chinese style. The houses are in modern style of that time.
