Wat Chedi Thong

The temple features a 50-meter-tall chedi with a square base plan and indented corners, forming the central structure of the complex.

King Bayinnaung of Bago initiated the construction of Wat Chedi Thong in 1569, marking his victory over Ayutthaya with an incomplete Burmese-style structure.

The temple maintains active Buddhist practices, hosting regular ceremonies and providing a space for meditation and religious gatherings throughout the year.

Visitors can climb to a middle landing of the chedi to observe the surrounding rice fields and access the central shrine, which opened in 2014.

Prince Naresuan transformed the original Burmese-style base into a Thai-style chedi in 1587, creating a structural fusion of two architectural traditions.
