Wihan Thep Sathit Phra Kiti Chaloem also known as Na Ja Sa Tai Jue Shrine by Chinese visitors is located in Chonburi Thailand.
This beautiful temple can easily match the architectural style and meticulous details that are on offer at any of the more famous attractions to be found in the Chonburi area, a province not too far from Bangkok. Although it may not be as well-known in tourist circles it’s well known to the locals. The Chinese temple in Ang Sila, a small fishing village on the coast of the Gulf of Thailand has so been living in the shadows of the far more “famous” venues that Chonburi province has to offer, such as its resort town of Pattaya, which favours foreign clientele, and the smaller town of Bang Saen with its Thai travelers.
Construction of the main hall was officially finished in 1999, only four years after work had started. With such a huge project, that kind of work never really finishes. There is currently another building being constructed north of the main hall.

Sisaket thailand
Sisaket is a province in northeastern Thailand, known as Isan. It is bordered by Surin, Roi Et, Yasothon, and Ubon Ratchathani provinces, as well as Oddar Meancheay and Preah Vihear of Cambodia to the south.

Ku Phra Ko Na กู่พระโกนา
The largely intact 3 towered, 11th-century sanctuary, located in the southern region of the province and accompanied by a substantial-sized baray to the east, (Baray Ku Phra Ko Na), indicate the site was one of some importance.
The 3, east-facing, brick shrines are positioned on a laterite and sandstone platform with an enclosing wall and traces of four gopuras.
The central shrine was renovated in the 19th century and given a coat of stucco, the northern tower is partially collapsed and is covered by a roof to prevent further damage. Only the southern tower retains something of its original appearance. Most of the sandstone door frames and lintels, and even a pediment, remain on site.
The reliefs are likely to be early to mid 11th century in a Khleang or Baphuon style.
The northern tower features a large, double-register lintel depicting a reclining Vishnu with a now missing deity seated upon Kala below. A small, damaged pediment above the lintel appears ...
