See the Ayutthaya-era temple at Wat Kaew in the Bang Phrom area.

#Get a discount without relying on luck Wat Kaew was built around 1823. The name and history of the builder are unknown. The temple is not adjacent to any canal, but the closest canals are Khlong Chak Phra and Khlong Bang Phrom. The main structure of the temple faces Khlong Chak Phra. There is also a pavilion with a pier in the middle of the temple grounds. Therefore, it is assumed that in the past, the temple was adjacent to Khlong Chak Phra. When the shortcut canal was dug, the land or Khlong Chak Phra, which is the original Chao Phraya River, narrowed, causing the temple to be further away from the canal. Currently, you can still see the shallow waterway that separates from Khlong Chak Phra. Important and interesting things in the temple are as follows: The original Ubosot was demolished before 1970 and replaced with the original sema stones. The Vihara, renovated during the reign of King Rama III, has red sandstone sema stones from the early Ayutthaya period. Inside, there are Buddha images from the early and middle Ayutthaya periods.
