Description

Situated 300 meters to the west of Wat Maha That, this ancient temple without boundary wall, is composed of a main chedi, a vihara and an ordination hall in the middle of a reservoir. The main chedi was built in the shape of a lotus bud with four niches to enshrine standing and walking Buddha images. These recesses in a body of the chedi are a striking feature which makes the chedi of Wat Tra Phang Ngoen different from other lotus bud shaped chedi. In the east of the main chedi, the ordination hall was constructed on the island in the middle of the reservoir named Tra Phang Ngoen. The construction of this ordination hall is in accordance with the concept known as Udaka Sima or Nadi Sima which means the enclosure of the precincts of the ordination hall with water as a symbol of demarcation.
