Looks like Pha Rahu พระราหู at the bottom.

The Khrut ครุฑ is in the middle and "Phra In" พระอินทร์ is the archer at the top.
"Phra In" พระอินทร์ has no more power to ride the "Khrut". He should be the one of three greatest gods in Hindu, "Phra Narai" พระนารายณ์ or the other name "Phra Vitsanu" พระวิษณุ (know as Lord Vishnu).

"Khrut" ครุฑ, a half human half eagle, can be found in Indonesia names "Garuda". Khrut is immortal, clever, and powerful.

Note how the Khrut has his talons fastened on to the snakes to prevent them escaping. The Khrut and the snake are mortal enemies and the Khrut likes to eat snakes.
"Nark" นาค (know as Naga), a big serpent with horn, powerful and magical.
Yes, Surawut was correct. Khrut likes to eat Nark. (but in the picture I saw only two snakes, look like cobra, not Nark)

At the bottom is Pra Rahu พระราหู ,a giant who has a half body. He was only one in giant clans who could drink the elixir of immortality, called Amrita น้ำอมฤต. In the picture, he is revenging the moon by keeping in his mouth, cause of the lunar eclipse จันทรคราส.

I don't know what is this picture called. It was rebuilt by several original images. But the real image should be
พระนารายณ์ทรงครุทยุทธนาค ประทับยืนบนราหูอมจันทร์ (Phra Narai song Khrut yut Nark pra tub yeun bon Rahu om jun).

Translate to English:- Phra Narai (Lord Vishnu) rides Khrut who catched Narks (Nagas) with his claws feet, standing on Rahu who keeping the moon in his mouth.
