Take a look at this beautiful Hemu Temple before it disappears

As the evening wore on, Mr. Lai put us at the entrance of the temple and repeatedly dinged, Be sure to check out the teak Buddha statue inside, “It’s so long as my car is!” He was the most familiar native of our country in Nang, because... on the first night of his visit to Nang, his car accidentally knocked my family down. The sudden accident left us unable to swim the town, and he suggested several times to take us to some good places. Some of the ancient wooden buildings that are not visible on the travel manuals, usually with their doors closed, sit quietly behind the wide grass, most of which are uninhabited and no buyers can be found. In the lively local market, people come here to buy dinner ingredients at work, and rush home with big bags. Back from the suburbs to the old town, across the white bridge across the canal, just saw the colorful sunset over the sky. So he put us down, from a small bridge that was only pedestrians and motorbikes, to enjoy the soft lines of the white bridge, or to watch the sunset quietly. He declined an invitation to accompany us to the temple and dinner together, because he was the father of three children, and no doubt the family expected him to go back to dinner sooner. The temple was so quiet that only our family, the black cats in the corners and the pigeons hiding in the mezzanine of the ceiling, provoked some movement. On the wooden steps leading to the hall, it is written, please do not take off your shoes. This is the first time we have encountered a temple that clearly stated not to take off our shoes, and then two steps up to understand that the floor is dilapidated, and the pigeon's feces are scattered by the door. It is quite dim to enter, and the deepest Buddha statue can be seen faintly. Although it is so shabby, the mottled gold pattern on the board is still beautiful, silently proclaiming its once gorgeous. Next to it was a new temple, where we saw the statue of the teak Buddha, which Mr. Lai repeatedly mentioned, faintly shining in the darkness. When we opened the flashlight, we saw the walls around the wall full of murals, telling stories from the Buddhist scriptures. There are many temples in Nanbang, there are Wat Doi Prachan Mea Tha Buddha Chanshan Temple, which resembles the blue Buddha in Kamakura, and there is Wat Phra That Lampng Luang Nanbang Temple, which is hidden by Shelifa. I like it very much, but this unknown ancient temple makes people fall in love at first sight. I want to tell everyone who may go to Nanbang. Can you take a look at this beautiful teak temple before it disappears? A little bad, after returning, I can't open Googlemap, I can't find its name, just next to the conspicuous white bridge in Nanbang Old Town, the side door is on the street of the night market.
