Inside this temple there are lots of chedi which have important people's ashes. The four large chedi were built on separate occasions to commemorate the first four kings of the Chakri Dynasty.

The reclining Buddha image is the second largest in Thailand. It is 46 meters long.

Feet of this Buddha are very big and covered with mother-of-pearl designs. They are showing the 108 auspicious signs arrayed in 67 small squares around the 'chakra' or a disc at the center.
