The temple is as beautiful as a palace with antiques donated by the people.

Paem Buol Thmay Pagoda was built with elegant and graceful architecture and gold-painted motifs creating luxury.

According to monk Dinh Hoang Su - Abbot of Paem Buol Thmay Pagoda, the pagoda was built in 1964 for people in Sung Dinh area to have a place to worship.

The temple was built and decorated in Khmer style combined with modern architecture but still retains traditional features, creating a highlight for the temple.

In particular, the Buddhist temple combines many forms of sunken and embossed carvings on the wall, cement molding, and direct plastering. The temple uses two main colors: yellow and white, with banana green accents. Therefore, the building exudes both modernity and ancient majesty.

All these items were contributed by Buddhists in and outside the province. The pagoda preserves ethnic artifacts to provide a basis for students with a passion for research and to diversify tourism products to serve visitors to the pagoda.

In particular, right in the temple grounds, there is a vividly and uniquely sculpted Ngo boat on display. This is also the first Ngo boat in the region to be sculpted directly onto the original boat.
