Wat Chong Klang
Wat Chong Klang is located next to and in the same compound Wat Chong Kham (Twin Temple). The white and gilded chedi of Wat Chong Klang has become a symbol of the town, and it truly is a spectacular sight.
There are several interesting items such as wooden figurines of humans and animals which depict the Phra Vejsandon Jakata or Cha-dok which means one of odd stories of former incarnations of the Buddha. They were created by Burmese craftsmen and brought over in 1857. There are paintings on glass about the Jakata and on Prince Siddhartha, as well as on the ways of life of the time. The captions are in Burmese. There are also notations that the paintings were by Thai Yai artisans from Mandalay.
