Ma Wat Wai is located at the Northwest of the Lo Wai. It is originally enclosed by walls, with a watchtower on each of the four corners. The two-storey main entrance was made of granite and grey bricks and installed with two chained-ring iron gates. All the houses in the village are built along orderly rows, and a communal altar resides at the end of the main alley. Unfortunately, most of the enclosing walls and all four corner towers have been demolished. To avoid disturbance to the residents, the interior is not open to the public.
