Background
Known locally as Wat Do. A cultural heritage database says it was once an abandoned temple called Wat Pradu, with no record of its founding. An ancient chedi base and many red sandstone Buddha images found here show it was long a religious site. It was later revived and received its consecrated boundary on 7 February 1989.
What to see
  • Ancient chedi base near the ordination hall
