Thailand: Sema stone outside temple's ubosot, Wat Sao Thong, Nakhon Sri Thammarat

Bai Sema (Thai: ใบเสมา) are the boundary stones which designate the sacred area for a phra ubosot (ordination hall) within a Thai Buddhist temple.

Wat Sao Thong Tong (Golden Pillar Temple), also known as Wat Wang Tawan Tok, was built between 1888 and 1901. The temple grounds contain three old connected houses, fine examples of traditional Southern Thai-style architecture.
