Wat Akkho Chai Khiri is located on Highway 1035 opposite the junction for Chae Hom. Near this junction a long naga staircase rises up to the viharn on top of the hill. Alternatively there is a narrow road to the top. The temple compound is roughly square with four gates and is bordered by a low white wall. Within a compound is the viharn, a main chedi and a mondrop with a large standing Buddha image. Another building about 3 metres square is described as a ‘watching hall’. Inside in darkness the inverted reflection of the chedi can be observed.

According to the onsite source the temple was built in 1887 and houses a chedi in Lanna and Chiang Saen style, although it has gone through a number of restorations. Some evidence of Hariphunchai design is also thought to have existed. The chedi amazingly casts a shadow on the floor of the viharn where the standing Buddha image known as Akkharot is enshrined.
