Si Satchanalai Historical Park   -  Wat Chao Chan  
(21) วัดเจ้าจันทร์  
 Address:        
 Known as:        
 Description:   This temple is behind Wat Chom Chuen and consists of another group of historic buildings in existence since pre-Sukhothai times. The most important historic structure here is a main shrine in the ancient Khmer architectural style, built from laterite blocks. Archaeological excavations unearthed deposits containing brick fragments and characteristic artefacts of the Dvaravati period, around the 6th- 10th century AD. This evidence suggests that brick buildings might have been present in this area before the laterite shrine made its appearence and replaced them.
