Popularly referred to as Wat Bot, Wat Ubosatharam
is and old temple on the east bank of the Sakaekrang. Many
wall murals in the style of early Rattanakosin period can
be found inside the Ubosot and the Wihan, mostly depicting
Buddhist Chronicles. Over the outside wall of the Wihan
are portrayals of Buddha's funeral and of the local way
of life. Other interesting antiquities include Sema (stones
marking the limit of the Ubosot), cabinets with Thai patterns
containing scriptures, and the pearl-inlaid cover of begging
bowl given by Rama V. There are also several buildings in
old architectural style worth seeing.
