A Taoist worship place. You seldom see Taoism in Thailand, this shows the strong influence of Chinese culture in this region.

Glittering prayer hall and colourful decorations on the walls make this a beautiful place to visit. With the background of the lake it adds to the tranquility of the area, despite it bring very popular with visitors and devotees. Take time to appreciate the amazing pictures on the stone floors.

Adding on: we were in Udon on 1 December and were so fortunate to see the The Tung Sri Muang Festival starting from this temple. Noisy, beautiful, fascinating !

A beautiful shrine. We were there when the shrine members were doing there ritual for paying respect to pu (grandfather) and ya (grandmother). So we were lucky and we just tagged along. There were six spots to pay respect. The prayers were all in Chinese.

There was also a nice เก๋งจีน in the pond. I loved it because it was nice and breezy to sit in there. Very relaxing.

Stunning temple
This like so many other temples in Thailand are immaculately presented.
This is a famous Chinese temple because of the strong cultural influences of the Chinese in this part of Thailand.
It's right next door to the Thai - Chinese cultural centre near UD Town. It's just on the other side of the railway tracks.
Or around a 15 min walk from Central Plaza area.
Some of the artwork is beautifully presented and in excellent condition.
