A very impressive temple can be found in his Wat. There is a tall gum tree to the left of the entrance.
The other outstanding structure is the chedi, which was severely damaged due to an earthquake in 1545. One can just imagine how magnificent this chedi must have been back then. There are some beautiful buildings and Buddha images. There is a reclining Buddha at the back of the chedi. Although not nearly as impressive as the one in Bangkok, it is still a nice image.
It is worth spending some time here, as there is so much to see.
You can also visit this Wat at night, when the chedi is even more impressive with its special lighting.
