This temple in the town of Kamphaeng Phet is quite large. It consists of several parts and buildings and is primarily known for the Ho Trai Wat Ku Yang, whose small, wooden library on stilts, situated in the middle of a small pond, is well worth a visit. Located high above and surrounded by water, it protected the books and writings it contained from rats and cockroaches.

It is located on Wichien Road, just before Ratchavitee Road, not far from the Three J. Guesthouse.

If you are staying in Kamphaeng Phet, you can reach Wat Ku Yang on foot or by rented bicycle (some hotels and guesthouses, such as the Three J Guesthouse, offer bicycle rentals). Alternatively, you can take a tuk-tuk or hire a songthaew (shared taxi).

Wat Ku Yang 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.
