At the foot of this mount, 2 kms. from the town along Phetchakasem Road, there is a statue of King Rama I erected as a memorial for the fighting between Thailand and Burma at Ban Bang Kaeo. Continue for 1.6 kms. up to the peak, visitors can see a clear view of Ratchaburi. A temple on the top houses a metal Buddha image, namely Phra Phuttha Niraro-Khantarai Chaiwat Chaturathit, which was presented by King Rama IX.
