This temple is particularly noteworthy for its main chedi and the 68 elephant statues that support it. Most of the statues are badly damaged. Sometimes, small fragments of a plant fresco can be seen among the elephants. In front of the chedi are the remains of another building, presumably the Wihaan. The temple is less well-preserved than Wat Chang Lom in Si Satchanalai, which also has a chedi with elephant statues. Nevertheless, Wat Chang Rawp is considered one of the temples worth visiting in the Ariniyk area of ​​Kamphaeng Phet Historical Park.

Entry to this part of the park costs 100 THB, or 150 THB for a combined ticket for both areas. Bicycles can be rented at the entrance for 30 THB. Vehicles, including bicycles, are also permitted; the fee for this ranges from 10 to 50 THB depending on the vehicle type.

I myself rode a bicycle I had rented from a guesthouse to this part of the park, but you can also get there by tuk-tuk. You can easily find one near the market.

Wat Chang Rop is a temple, and when visiting a temple in Thailand there are some rules to follow: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), take off your shoes when entering the building, be quiet, do not hug or kiss, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, do not smoke.
