Wat Nai Harn

Wat Nai Harn, also known as Samnak Song Nai Harn. This is a small Buddhist monastery. It is ideal for an early morning spiritual retreat, where you can see villagers coming with donations to seek blessings from the monks. It is the perfect start to your day, by being a part of this calm and holy atmosphere. Multiple roof tiers are important element of the Thai temple. The use of ornamented multiple tiers is reserved for roofs on temples, palaces and important public buildings. Two or three tiers are most often used, but some royal temples have four. The use of multiple roof tiers is more aesthetic than functional. Because temple halls are large,their roof areas are massive.To lighten up the roof’s appearance, the lowest tier is the largest, with a smaller middle layer and the smallest roof on top. Multiple breaks in each roof lighten it further. A double-tiered roof might have 2 to 4 breaks in each tier. Dynamic visual rhythms are created by these multiple tiers, breaks and tier patterns. In northern temples, the roof area is larger, sweeping low towards the ground to cover more of the wall. The lower tiers telescope farther to the entrance. In central Thai temple, the lower tiers telescope just a short distance beyond the top roof at the gable ends.
