Wat Phra Ram
วัดพระราม
A temple built on the site where King U Thong was cremated. Its tall main prang is reflected in Bueng Phra Ram lake, and it is lit up at night.
Wat Phra Ram was built around 1369 by Prince Ramesuan, son of King U Thong, on the site of his father's cremation. The tall central Khmer-style prang rises above a base surrounded by small chedis, Buddha images and remnants of naga decorations. In the evening, the tower's reflection in the nearby Bueng Phra Ram lake is especially beautiful. Admission is about 50 baht, and it is included in the six-temple combined ticket for the Historical Park. Located southeast of Wat Phra Si Sanphet, about a 5-minute walk away. The lakeside park is a good place to rest.
