You travel from Muang District to Fang District on highway 107. When arriving at Fang District. You will see a temple with a beautiful and striking arch on the roadside. It is the entrance arch to Wat Udom Mongkol.
This arch is large. Made of bricks and spread cement on bricks. This arch is decorated with silver and gold color patterns. And the small 12-headed Naga. The top of the arch has three small pagodas.

On this trip, my wife and I visited this temple. The atmosphere of our journey to the temple and the area in front of the temple.
