This temple is located 8 km northwest of Si Saket. It is rich in statues, some of which are quite surprising. The most famous is the temple in the shape of a chariot drawn by two oxen. It also houses a reclining Buddha statue, unique in Thailand, inspired by a statue in India. The main building and its 49-meter-high stupa are decorated with paintings of landmarks in Sisaket province. From the top, there is a panoramic view of the surrounding area. This temple is well worth a visit because of the diversity of its statues and features. It is easily accessible, as it is not far from the city.
Free admission. Open from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM.
You can take songthaew number 2 from the train station for 10 THB. Alternatively, a motorbike taxi will take you to the temple for 200 Baht, wait for you there, and then take you back to Si Saket.
