Arrived at Wat pradoo around 10am
The temple has finally done with the walls and the surrounding looks amazing!
At the entrance of the hall. It is actually known as Viharn or Vihara in the pali text, a place for layman and monks to gather around, this is the space where Luang phor does their daily prayers and chanting.

This is the main area where phor meet the devotees of Wat Pradoo

The center where Luang phor maha Surasak seats.

Close up of the buddha statues at the sides,

Even closer look on the yantra (not too sure if its phor's masters which is the ex abbot of the temple)
The holy scriptures in Bailan (a kind leaf that used the write the buddhist scripture)
myself paying respect before I leave the place as Luang phor is not around
facing the front of phor's seat, there is the long strect of main hall. This is where most ceremony is taken place and Wai kru(paying respect to teacher day)
the far end of the hall is the King Bhumibol photo

beside the office there is an area where they store the old boats of King Rama V, when he visited the temple and stayed there,


There is also a Guanyin Shrine at the other side
Visiting the Office of Wat Pradoo, here you can do donations of large amount and make reservations for the upcoming amulets in the temple.
