At the Wat Buppharam Temple there were many shrines. Elephants, tigers, penises, flying women and Buddhas were everywhere. The temple was mostly empty and so it was easy to see everything there. A huge set of dragons flanked a small side temple. A rather large gold phallus was found on the side of the main temple. It was very elaborate and quite beautiful.
