On the road parallel
to the old city wall to the west of town is Wat Mahawan,
an old temple built since the times of Queen Chamthewi.
Enshrined here is a Nak Prok statue (statue with mythical
serpents overhead) which was brought to the temple by the
Queen. Commonly known as Phra Rot Lamph, it serves as the
model for the famous votive tablet.
