Wat Ket Karam

The temple complex stretches across 10,000 square meters along the eastern banks of the Ping River, featuring a five-tiered roof viharn and pagoda.

Founded in 1428 during Phaya Samfangkaen's reign, the temple received restoration work on its pagoda between 1579 and 1607 under King Nawratha Minsaw's direction.

The Wat Ket Museum within the temple grounds displays a collection of traditional tools, textiles, and photographs documenting local life through generations.

Visitors need to wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees, remove shoes before entering sacred areas, and can access the museum daily except on Buddhist holidays.

The museum building, initially a monk teacher's residence, was funded by Chinese residents and later transformed through renovations around the year 2000.
