“ Phrchao Ongsaen, an old Buddha image Old Wihan, assembly hall ”

Wat Pho Chai is an old temple existing since the 17th-18th century A.D. before the establishment of the village, Baan Na Pueng.

There is an old Wihan, an assembly hall, built in brick and stucco into a north-facing rectangular building with three entrances in the north, the east and the west, each with a pair of mythical creatures, and a solid wall in the south.

The gable roof is covered with wooden tiles, with the so-called "Pik Nok" hidden roof supported by wooden pillars. The very low roof is a native style of Loei's architecture. It also helps to protect the beautiful mural paintings of the folk school of artisans both inside and the building.

The murals on the inner side of the walls depict the life of the Lord Buddha as well as Vessantara Jataka. The outer side of the walls house murals depicting Nemirja Jatakn, and folk tales of Sangsinchai and Karake. These Paintings reflect the lifestyles as well as religious beliefs of the villagers in the late Ayutthaya and Rattanakosin periods.
