is a temple situated in the center of Muang Nakhon
Chum featuring a Burmese-style Chedi. To the south is an
Ubosot housing several Sukhothai-style and Ayutthaya-style
bronze Buddha statues. The Chedi itself is believed to originally
have been a Sukhothai-type structure, its style having been
altered during a restoration work financed by a wealthy
Burmese about a century ago.
Another ancient
town is Muang Traitrung. It was built by King Chaisiri of
Chiang Rai who fled invading enemy in 1542 B.E. (circa 999
A.D.). Today most of the structures are in disrepair with
only ruins of Chedis and ramparts. The town is about 18
kilometres from Kamphaeng Phet on the Kamphaeng Phet-Khlong
Lan road.
