It is an ancient temple on the west bank of the Phetchaburi river. The attraction here is the brick and cement Five-Pinnacle Stupa, moulded statues in the royal Vihara (temple) and Ubosoths. The superior skill of the Phetchaburi craftsmen is rarely matched and the statues are caricatures of the world of politics in each period.
