Wat Khian Bang Kaeo in Phattalung

---

Wat Khian Bang Kaeo was recognized as a model temple for development in 1990. This ancient temple has Phrathat Bang Kaeo which is an imitation of Phra Mahathat Chedi of Nakhon Si Thammarat, but on a smaller scale.

Wat Khian Bang Kaeo is one of the ancient places of worship of Phattalung believed to have been built in the early Ayutthaya period. Assumably, the temple area had been the location in the city of Phattalung since laterite debris and numerous Buddha images were found.
In addition, the temple houses a museum where Buddha images and crockery have been collected. To visit the museum, permission from the abbot is required.
