What / Why :

It is confusing to get to this off-the-beaten-track temple. You may need somebody to provide directions. However, this surprisingly large temple could be worthwhile for anthropologists and ruin enthusiasts. The style is unique to this area; several chedis are thin, tall, and circular in design. Some have high and flat bases that can’t be climbed (almost like some Pre-Ayutthaya designs). It is highly unlikely to find another tourist on site and the location by the Hua Ror canal makes for a nice quiet picnic stop.


There is little information known about Wat Khae. It was originally constructed during the early Ayutthaya period and many additions were completed in the middle period as well.
