Wat Khao Khuen or Wat Khao Nang Buat (Wat Phra Achan Thammachot) is located on Nang Buat mountain at kilometre 138-139 of
Highway 340, 51 kilometres from downtown. A former monk resident of
this temple, Phra Achan Thammachot, played a key role in the ancient
war against the Burmese troops. By his excellence in talisman,
villagers of Ban Bang Rachan in Sing Buri Province invited him to
encourage all warriors to fight against the Burmese troops, which were
defeating Ayutthaya at the time.
The temple’s image hall houses the Lord Buddha’s footprint. And nearby
is a pagoda made from a pile of stone slabs. From the mountain’s peak,
a beautiful panoramic view of the Amphoe is worth visiting.
