This hill is 44 metres high and was originally
called "Khao Sattanat". It is located 2 kms. west
of the town. King Rama V had commanded a palace to be built
on the hill and made a royal visit to receive the Portuguese
minister in the year 1887. The palace area was donated by
King Rama VII to be used as a monastery, which was later
called "Wat Khao Wang".
