Wat Samphran is a Buddhist temple that lies about 40 km west of Bangkok, Thailand. The 17-storey-tall tower is sheathed by a dragon statue, the body of which is hollow and contains a staircase for tourists to climb; however, the stairs are so old and in such a state of disrepair that some sections cannot be traversed, and it is impossible to climb all the way to the top. 

Despite its stunning appearance, Wat Samphran is rarely mentioned in guide books, and is unmarked on maps. Nobody knows who or when it was built.
