Not far from Wat Phothikyam Phutthaktham is Wat Pathumvihara, which is about a stone throw. This Siamese Temple is not as popular as Wat Phothikyam Phutthaktham and is only visited by the regulars. I personally have not know much about this temple as well even though it is so close by to the 'Dragon Temple'. I only visited the temple a couple of times.
For tourist, when visiting the 'Dragon Temple', I do suggest you do drop by this temple as well as they also have much to offer especially it's ancient architecture which is still been maintained.
Most of the design in this temple is still very traditional even though some new designs has been introduced. However, since the temple is still short of funds, a few blocks of buildings constructed half way long time ago has been prolonged.
The above is one block which is of a typical old design of a Siamese temple which is hardly seen now a days.
Above: The front portion of the wall which is uncomplete due to lack of funds.

Very beautiful detailing and fascinating post.
Great pictures! The architecture is exotic. I'm sure it'll look breath taking once the construction is complete.
The parts that are completed are so beautiful in their blue colour.
