abbot of the temple and he renovated it. The first location of
the temple was on the bank of Sakae Krang River. The artifact of
the place is a pulpit built by Luang Pho Yai that is opposite

Wat
Ubosatharam was originally called “Wat Bot Manorom”
and is located in the municipality on the bank of Sakae Krang
River opposite Uthai Thani Fresh Market. It is surmised that it
was built in the early Rattanakosin period. Many historical
sites and artifacts are found inside, such as wall murals in the
convocation hall from the early Rattanakosin period that depict
the life of Lord Buddha from birth till death. They are of
exquisite craftsmanship. The murals inside the main hall are
also from the same period and depict Lord Buddha showing mercy
upon angels in heaven and others scenes. Moreover, there are 3
pagodas, each from different periods and of different styles.
Also of interest are the main hall, the convocation hall, the
prayer building, the octagonal multi-tiered rood, the Bot Nam
raft, the replica of Lord Buddha’s footprint from the time of
King Rama IV, a silver Buddha image weighing 30 kilograms, and
gifts from King Rama V to Luang Pho Chan Wat Bot when the king

used when the king visited Europe, a wide-month urn, a vase,
etc.
Bot Nam is in
front of Wat Ubosatharam on the bank of Sakae Krang River. It
was built to receive King Rama V when he visited northern
provinces in 1906. Originally a twin raft, it has an elongated
carved apex of the gable like normal temple main halls. It also
had a front part with a circular sign in Pali stating that the
king visited here in good faith. In 1976, the raft was renovated
and made into a single raft of floors so it is suitable for
monks to use. There is an area for worshippers to sit under a
four-sided roof. The sign has been moved to the middle of front
part of the roof. Today the raft is used by raft residents for
religious ceremonies such as weddings, ordinations, funeral, and
merit-making activities.
