Kamphaeng_Phet

Wat Phra Kaeo
One of two temples located within the old city walls, it was originally built in the Sukhothai style but was later remodelled during the Ayutthayan Period. The wat is enclosed by laterite walls and contains a Ceylonese-style Chedi surrounded with weather-beaten Buddha images failing to hide their once greatness and beauty.

Wat Chang Rob
Situated in the forested area of Arunyk, this temple shows the distinct architectural style of the Lanka Wongsa sect from Ceylon. The remains of the tall laterite chedi, with the base surrounded by 68 elephant caryatids, was designed to represent Mount Meru.

Wat Phra Non
This monastery dates back to the 15th-16th century. Laterite walls surround the remains of monk quarters and a ruined viharn. Behind the viharn is a large eight-sided laterite stupa.

Wat Phra Si Iriyaboth
The wat is known locally as Wat Yeun and is noted for the four Buddha images that adorn the walls of the large mondop. The images are in each of the four postures; walking, sitting, reclining and standing. The slightly restored standing image is a fine example of Sukhothai sculpture.

Kamphaeng Phet Museum
Also situated within the old city walls, about 100m down from Wat Phra Kaeo. The ground floor is dedicated to the various periods of Thai arts, while the first floor is dedicated to artefacts from the Kamphaeng Phet area.
