Wat Khongkharam is a listed temple on account of its age and the presence of some important murals in the viharn. These date back to the reign of King Rama III (1824-1851). Its style is typically Mon and within the grounds is a museum, unfortunately open only at weekends. However there are enough antique and vintage objects under the building to get a flavour of past times. A number of long river boats are stored under the museum needing some attention, a reminder that trade upriver from Ratchaburi was a local endeavour.
