We are all familiar with artwork in various temples throughout SE Asia, what struck me about these two Wat's was the style of dress in the images, all of them are depicting what happens if you do not follow the path of Buddha and sent to hell which by the looks of it is not a good option.

These are taken on the new paved road at Wat Namphao N19.67956° E100.57906° which is sadly falling into disrepair.

The second artwork shows and tells how your parents will also be punished in hell, presumably as a further deterrent for Buddhists to not stray from the path...
