Wat Phra Kaeo and Wat Phra That complex,
Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park
Wat Phra Kaeo is a large royal temple in the town centre near a site believed to have been a palace. The temple itself was used on important city events and had no monks in residence. The major feature is the principal chedi with lion-adorned base and a round chedi with an elephant-adorned base. The main monastery (viharn) connected to the principle chedi was constructed on a large rectangular base in laterite. On the opposite side is the viharn which houses the seated and reclining Buddha images while another smaller viharn is situated beside that. Nearby are the bases of two mondrops (pavilions). There are other chedis on different bases within the complex. Its boundary is marked off by laterite walls.
Wat Phra That is second in size to Wat Phra Kaeo. Here the principal chedi is built of a mixture of laterite and bricks with a 15-metre wide square base. The style is of Kamphaeng Phet architecture.
