Unfortunately, you will have difficulty in seeing the temple paintings at the site, because the Ubosoth usually is closed to the general public. Closeby the Ubosoth there is another temple structure, a Mondop that houses a Buddha footprint. It also has more contemporary paintings on the walls.
Try to visit on Buddha's day only
Recommendation ***** (must see!)

| CK Anak on the extreme left |
 |
| The Ubosoth at Wat Yai Intharam shows the 'classical' curved base of the structure (like a ship) often seen in temples from the Ayutthaya period |
 |
| Its not a Buddha's Day but this monk makes an exception for me. There are a total of 3 ubosots. The oldest one is closed and it's not been opened by the monk for a long time. The newest and the second oldest one is opened to the public on Buddha's Day only |
 |
| The newest Ubosot |
 |
| I'm not afraid to say that my tears came down while I offered my prayers here...It all felt so peace and so connected....I stayed here for quite a while |
 |
| Beautiful murals on the wall |
 |
| The second Ubosot - the monk gladly opened for us. |
 |
| Lots of buchas here, all donated by the local people |
 |
| The second oldest Ubosot |
 |
| I respected the monk's decision not to open the oldest Ubosot. But before I left he changed his mind to open it. But due to long time not being open, the door was heavy and rusty...we took quite a while to push the door |
 |
| A view of what's inside - not everyone have an opportunity to see this. Everything here is classified as National Heritage and cannot be moved. |
 |
| Even a leaking roof cannot be repair without seeking the authorities's permission |
 |
| Easily few hundred years old buchas here |
