Description

Wat Phra Prang (Channasut) is located at Mu 7, Ban Khok Mo, Choeng Klat Sub-district. Within the temple compound, there is the Phra Prang (corn-shaped pagoda) in the Early Ayutthaya style. It is presumed that the pagoda was built in the reign of King Narai the Great (1656-1688).
This corn-shaped brick pagoda is around 15 m high, having a short base and a hallow chamber. On the walls of the chamber, once there were mural paintings which now leave no trace. At the back, there is an ancient Wihan (image hall) in the Ayutthaya style of art, with a lion-figured wood-carved gable and eaves brackets. There is a mountain and replica of the Lord Buddha's footprint on its top. Furthermore, traces of around 3-4 Maenam Noi kilns can be seen. The temple was registered as an ancient monument on 8 March 1935.
