Wat Sala Loi in the city of Nakhon Ratchasima was built by the Thai heroine Thao Suranari and her husband in 1827. Awarded by the Siam Architects Society for the best avant-garde religious building, the highlight is the meeting hall which has the shape of a boat riding the waves. Inside the hall at Wat Sala Loi, there is a large standing Buddha statue. A festival for Thai heroine Thao Suranari is held here each year at the end of March.
