Wat Awat Yai, Kampheang Historical Park, Mueang Kamphaeng Phet District

This ruin dates from 15th-16th century. Parts of the boundary walls are missing, the only one standing is the Kam Phang Kaew of Phuttawat. Situated on the large base are chedis of different shapes, 8 on each side. The large hall or vihara stands on a raised Paitee base with porches at the front and back. The main chedi sits on an octagonal base, each side measuring 16 metres. The design of the chedi is unknown as the upper part is missing but it was thought to be bell-shaped. Outside the boundary wall is the Sangkhawat where evidence of monks’ residences can be found together with a sala, pond and toilet. In front of the temple is a large pond lined with laterite known as Bo Sam Saen.
