This is a small, but modern temple in the small town of Pranburi, just south of Hua Hin, Thailand. About 10% of the population in Thailand is ethnic Chinese. Most of the shops in the center of town here had Chinese characters as well as Thai writing over their doors, so I assume this temple was built by these merchants. It looks like it serves as a Chinese community center as well as a temple. No one was inside anywhere when we visited around noon. I assume this is a fairly typical Chinese temple in Thailand.
