Wat Na Phra That

Wat Na Phra That is located in Ban Phra Non Chakkrasi, Tambon Chakkrasi, around 1.5 km from Wat Phra Non Chakkrasi. Initially, the 10 villagers called the temple "Wat Hua Mueang." In the reign of King Rama IV, it was renamed "Wat Na Phrathat." The area around this place was assumed to have been the old town of Sing Buri. The important thing of the temple is Phra Prang (corn-shaped pagoda) which is around 8 Wa (Thai measurement: 1 Wa equivalent to 78.7 inches) high. The pagoda has figures of demons holding batons and garudas over the relic chamber. The early Ayutthayan style of architecture was later added to the pagoda in the form of Choranam brick niches built on its four sides. Up from the laterite base, bricks were formed into prang-style indented corners with brick antefixes. To the east of the pagoda is Phra Wihan Luang (grand image hall), and to the west lies the Ubosot (ordination hall) with many round-shaped pagodas. These features are the architecture of the late Ayutthaya period. The Fine Arts Department registered the temple as an ancient monument on 8 March 1935. [Source: TAT]
