Kamphaeng Phet - Wat Phra That

The ruins of Wat Phra That, the town's second most important wat, are opposite the museum. The bell shape of the central chedi on a square base are indicative of Singhalese influence - the strict form of Buddhism still practiced in Sri Lanka today was very prevalent in Thailand when the chedi was built. It is surrounded by columns and held a relic, the whereabouts of which is unknown. All that remains of the wiharn are the foundations and some parts of square pillars.
