Built during the reign of King Rama
IV by Burmese, Wat Pa Fang is located on Sanam Bin
Road. It has a large, glittering gold Chedi Containing a
Holy Relic brought over from Myanmar around 1906. The extensive
Sala Kan Parian (preaching hall) is made entirely of wood
with Burmese-style overlapping roofs. A small Ubosot has
a Burmese-style woodwork over its roof with beautiful plaster
designs over its doors. Usually there are a considerable
number of Burmese monks in residence.
