I have visited well over a hundred Wats, most of them in and around Chiang Mai, but I never encountered one with an inner and an outer wall. FredTC (talk) 13:35, 15 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
It was still part of the text of a previous version. I can't recall either having seen this double wall lay-out as the temples I remember, the Phuttawat area is contained within the same wall as the Sanghawat area. I will scrap that part. Takeaway (talk) 16:17, 17 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]
There is at least one temple in Thailand with a separate wall around the sanghawat: Wat Pho!
IMHO: what was meant with the "inner" and "outer" wall, is probably what you can see in many Rattanakosin temples: the ubosoth is often surrounded by a low ("inner") wall, called "Diamond Wall" (Kampheng Kaeo) (see this photo of Wat Ratchabopit, or this one in Wat Pho). --hdamm (talk) 12:34, 7 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]
Hmmmm.... I wish someone with more knowledge of Thai temple architecture could edit the whole article as I'm not an expert myself. So apparently some temples do have a "crystal wall" surrounding the ubosoth but most temples do not. I'll re-edit the text to reflect this information. Thanks!
