Paem Buol Thmay Pagoda was built with elegant and graceful architecture and gold-painted motifs creating luxury.

According to monk Dinh Hoang Su - Abbot of Paem Buol Thmay Pagoda, the pagoda was built in 1964 for people in Sung Dinh area to have a place to worship.

The temple was built and decorated in Khmer style combined with modern architecture but still retains traditional features, creating a highlight for the temple.

In particular, the Buddhist temple has many forms of inter-coordination: sunken carving, embossed carving on the wall, cement molding, direct plastering. The temple uses two main colors: yellow and white, with banana green accents. Therefore, the building exudes both modernity and ancient majesty.
