Built in 1814, there are many historical structures and
artifacts within this temple compound. The large Ubosot or
ordination hall itself is over 150 years old. Inside is a
laterite Buddha image. A square Chedi, or pagoda, is built in
the style of the Ayutthaya period and stands in front of the
Ubosot. Another seven Dharma Chedis, built in 1872, and are
encircled by a wall. Meanwhile, in the monks’ residence, a mural
created during the reign of King Rama II depicts a battle
between the Siamese and the Burmese.
