The Wat on the right bank of the Wang River is considered one of Thailand's best examples of Burmese-style temple architecture. It has an impressive Chedi on a rectangular base with a round spire topped with gilded bronze plaques. A Burmese-style chapel topped by a multi-tiered roof stands against it. The chapel probably dates from the late 18th century and contains a Burmese style Buddha image with particularly interesting decorations.
