In the historical Kamphaeng Phet Park, in the Aranyik area, right next to Wat Phra Si Ariyabot, is a temple known for its heavily weathered, seated Buddha, whose silhouette, however, is almost completely preserved. Some facial features are still recognizable. Other smaller sculptures are only identifiable as silhouettes. Behind Wat Singha, a niche in the remains of a former chedi houses a carved Buddha statue, which has also lost its covering and details.

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 Singh 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.

How to get there

How do you get to Wat Singh? I personally rode a bicycle I rented from a guesthouse to that part of the park. Alternatively, you can also take a tuk-tuk. You can easily find them near the market.
