Improved to Good Article status by Farang Rak Tham (talk). Self-nominated at 18:59, 7 February 2018 (UTC).
Newly promoted, definitely long enough, all hooks verified. QPQ done. Good to go. Personal preference for Alt2 or Alt0 over Alt1, which doesn't seem as interesting or directly related to the temple. I have a few comments which I'll leave on the talk page. --Paul_012 (talk) 09:06, 13 February 2018 (UTC)
