An old
temple in Pho Prathap Chang district is Wat Pho Prathap
Chang, located about 27 kilometres from town on route #1068
to the south. It was built by Phra Chao Sua, an Ayutthaya
king, in 1701 at a site reputed to be his own birth-place.
Although abandoned for almost 300 years, the remaining
traces are indicative of past splendors, such as a huge
Vihan with its walls still standing but now roofless, and
small Chedis scattered over the site. The entire site is
surrounded by double-walls and huge trees, some of which are
over 200 years old.
