Wat Sri Chum Lampang consists of concrete-wooden architectures. Those pieces of wood are directly from woodlands of Myanmar. There are gorgeous carvings all over them. There is a vihara, which there is Lanna-Burmese decoration inside, including Lord Buddha statue of Burmese style. The roof is pointy and consists of many levels.
