The stucco relief art adorning the Phra Phuttha Sophitmuni vihara at Wat Chulamanee — gables, arches, and figures of deities and hermits by Thai stucco artisans.
The vihara of Phra Phuttha Sophitmuni at Wat Chulamanee, Bang Chang Subdistrict, Amphawa District, Samut Songkhram Province, is adorned with exquisite stucco relief work — across its gables, the arches of its doors and windows, and the Thai ornamental patterns on its walls — crafted piece by piece with great refinement by the stucco artisans.
