Located in the historic Kamphaeng Phet Park, in the Arunyik area, is Wat Phra Non, a sprawling complex of which essentially only a chedi (restored in 2009) and a large portion of the walls and pillars of the main building remain. It is the only temple in the park whose Wihaan (courtyard) is still completely intact. It once housed a reclining Buddha, which is no longer there.

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 Phra Non 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.
