A large seated statue of Luang Phor Thuad, one of Thailand's most revered monks, believed to bring protection. Locals stop to make merit and leave offerings. It's a roadside shrine rather than a full temple — a few minutes to see — but a genuine slice of everyday Thai belief, away from the tourist trail. Free.
