Wat Kamphaeng Laeng

The temple complex contains five prangs built in the Bayon style, with a prominent central structure surrounded by four smaller towers.

Built during the late 12th century under King Jayavarman VII, this sanctuary marked the southern boundary of Khmer architectural influence in Thailand.

The temple transformed from a Hindu sanctuary into a Buddhist place of worship, reflecting the religious changes throughout Thai history.

Visitors can access the temple grounds during daylight hours without paying an entrance fee, and transportation options include tuk-tuks from nearby stations.

Archaeological excavations in 1987 revealed a Nak Prok image and a statue of Lokeshvara, the Bodhisattva of compassion, beneath the temple grounds.
