the Chakri Dynasty, to complete the construction. This temple is noted for its 19th century murals. The Viharn
(preaching hall) should be seen for its collection of gilded Buddha images. The temple used to house a huge
door with intricate carving, The temple complex is open daily from 9.00 a.m. to 5.00 p.m.. In front of the temple
is the Giant Swing or Sao Ching Cha where a Brahmanic ceremony had taken place until the early 20th century.
