Description

Wat Khun Saen is a restored ruin located on U-Thong Road west of the Hua Ro market. The highlight here is a large bell-shaped chedi that has been expanded over the years, which creates the unique appearance of a small chedi being consumed by a larger one. There is also the foundation of an ordination hall and portions of a wall surrounding the monastery. King Rama IV (1851-1868 CE) ordered the restoration of Wat Khun Saen and enlarged its central bell-shaped chedi. However, King Mongkut died before this project could be finished. As a result, the restoration of Wat Khun Saen was permanently halted, and the monastery has remained inactive ever since.
