Wat Rachakrauh is one of the larger Wats in the pleasant provincial capital of Phayao, and one which is remarkably bereft of online information. All I know of this temple is what I saw. There is an ordination hall, living quarters for monks, several Buddhist artefacts on display, and, following the custom of northern Thailand, a stupa to the rear of the hall. The temple is maintained to a high standard, well laid out, and attractive. Waymark at main entrance.
