ArchitectureScriptural Hall: Wat Sisaket
Scripture hall at Wat Srisaket has a Mondop-type roof ( a multi-tiered roof with a small pediment). This is very similar to the scripture hall at Wat Pha Srisasadaram in Bangkok. However, the multi-tiered roof and the unglazed tiles are of Lan Chnag Style. Inside, there is a large golden Tripitaka cabinet.
