Wat Khao Bang Sai, Bang Sai Subdistrict, Mueang Chonburi District, Chonburi Province

Wat Khao Bang Sai, or Wat Khao Phra Phutthabat Bang Sai, is said to have been built between 2249 and 2275 BE (1706–1732 AD) by a king of Ayutthaya.

It was a royal temple that flourished for a time before falling into disrepair. During the reign of King Rama III, he ordered Somdet Chao Phraya Borom Maha Prayurawong (Dis Bunnag), who at that time held the offices of Chao Phraya Phra Khlang (Minister of Finance) and Samuh Klahom (Minister of Defense), to use an army to suppress the Ang Yee (Chinese secret society) at Wat Khongkhalai in the Bang Sai subdistrict of Mueang Chonburi County. The Ayutthaya-era temple had fallen into ruin until it was rebuilt under King Rama IV by Phraya Phichit Chonket, the then-governor of Chonburi. Among the temple's attractions are the pavilion containing the Buddha's footprint and a small building on the hill housing a reclining Buddha statue. In the same area are also European-style buildings dating from the reign of King Rama V. 201 Moo 6, Mueang Chonburi, Chonburi
