A chedi renowned for its age and monumental architecture, revered by Buddhists the world over.

Standing 127 m high, this chedi is revered by Buddhists all over the world for its antiquity (writings mention it in 675 but some archaeologists claim that its construction would have started in 193 BC) and for its monumental architecture. It would be the oldest Buddhist structure in the country. In the 11th century, the temple was taken over by the Khmers who modified its configuration. Left abandoned, it was not rebuilt until the 19th century at the request of King Mongkut who decided to build it on the ruins of the old temple.

Le temple de cette ville avec son Chedi de taille record est à voir.
Ce n'est pas simplement un ancien monument mais un temple toujours fréquenté par les thaïs qui y font grand nombre de dévotions et d'offrandes

Une visite intéressante si on est dans le coin et que l'on a le temsps. L'enceinte du chedi abrite de très nombreuses sculptures de Bouddha avec des pécisions en anglais permettant ainsi de mieux comprendre la signification des différentes postures de Bouddha.
Un des temples entourant le chedi renferme de magnifiques peintures murales.
