is some 9 kilometres from town on
the Phichit Wang Chik road . Built in the Sukhothai period
about 800 hundred years ago, it features an old Ubosot built
with brick and mortar with the upper parts in wood. Instead
of windows, there are narrow openings for ventilation throughout
the wall, similar to temples of the Ayutthaya period. In
the Ubosot is a large Sukhothai-style Buddha statue once
used as the principal statue in oath-taking ceremony pledging
allegiance to the monarch.
