Wat Sa Bo Kaeo
วัดสระบ่อแก้ว
A Shan-style temple on the east side of the old town, where white Burmese chedis and gold multi-tiered roofs stand out. It reflects the history of Burmese and Shan migrants from the teak era.
Wat Sa Bo Kaeo was also built by Shan and Burmese communities who came to Phrae to work in the teak trade in the late 19th century. The main hall has Burmese-style layered spire roofs, and the interior is decorated with colored glass mosaics. The compound has a white Burmese chedi and lion statues, and traditional Shan activities still take place here. The temple is small and can be visited together with Wat Chom Sawan, which is about 1 km away. Admission is free.
