Name of a Buddhist temple in Trang, of which the ubosot has a roof that has been painted into the thong chaht, i.e. the National Tricolour of Thailand in red-white-blue-white-red (fig.), and measures about 30 by 100 meters. This main chapel, of which construction was started in 2012 AD, today houses an 8 meter tall and at the lap 5 meter wide gilded Buddha image, with eyes that have pupils made of nin, i.e. black spinel, sometimes referred to as  black jasper or black onyx.
