Vat Pa Phai Mixaiyaram
ວັດປ່າໄພ່ ມີໄຊຍາຣາມ

"Temple of the Bamboo Forest" was founded in 1815 by Phaya Samlat. The richly decorated front entrance features above the main door three peacocks, possibly a reference to his zodiac birth sign. The inside of the sim is extensively decorated with gold stencilled murals on a red background depicting Jataka stories of the Buddha.
