NAKHON PATHOM

This Chinese Hall is called โรงเจเหยีนตั้งตั๊ว. According to locals, it is already 100 years old!

This Chinese Hall is already huge including several buildings, altars, restaurant and kitchen.

This Chinese Hall (โรงเจเหยีนตั้งตั๊ว) is very busy and active during the vegetarian festival.

It is a very nice Chinese Hall to wander. Coming with a trusty Nixon Dslr will allow doing better low light shots next time.

A "RONG JAE" (โรงเจ) is also called Vegetarian Hall or Vegetarian House.
