Wat Tha Sung
(another name is Wat Chantharam) is at Mu 2, Tambon Nam Sum. It
is an old temple from the Ayutthaya period. It was formerly
called “Wat Chan” which is the name of an
abbot. Wat Chantharam later was abandoned until 1789 when the
monk Luang Pho Yai came here. Villagers asked him to become the
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
the temple. More buildings were later added by the monk Phra
Ratchaphrom Yan Nen (Luang Pho Ruesi Ling Dam). The new
convocation hall is beautiful with an ornately decorated
interior. The inner windows and doors have pictures of angels.
His Majesty the King presided over a ceremony to officially open
the building. Surronding the building is a traditional columned
wall. Images of Luang Pho Pan and Luang Pho Yai 3 times the
actual size is at the corner of the front wall. Furthermore, the
new site has a wide area as well as many pavilions with
accommodation for meditation. The main hall is open during

Wat
Thammakhosok or called “Wat Rong Kho” by
villagers was built in the early Rattanakosin period. It is on
Si Uthai Road, Tambon Uthai Mai in the municipality. It was used
to hold rites by Uthai Thani government officials to pledge
allegiance to the king as well as an execution site. The most
interesting places in the temple are the chapel and the main
Buddha image hall. The chapel is of the Rattanakosin period. A
tiled roof covers the building. The Buddha image here is highly
sacred. There are beautiful murals inside, the works of late
Ayutthaya artists. The main hall is a larger building that is
higher than the chapel. A pedestal inside has around 20 Buddha
images on it. The outer windowpanes have plaster drawings of the
epic Ramayana as frames. The doors have wooden floral patterns

Wat Mani Sathit Kapittharam is
located on Sunthon Sathit Road, behind the health garden, at the
Clock Tower Circle. This temple was constructed in the
Rattanakosin period, and local people call it Wat Thung Kaeo.
Inside the temple, there is a large five-pinnacled prang, with a
width of 8 metres and a height
of 16 metres, which was built in 1909. The prang contains the
relics of Lord Buddha and the image of Luangpho Yaem who
constructed this temple. In the
area of the temple, there is a large holy water pool made of
bricks and a stone tablet with magic scripts of Luangpho Yaem
located in the middle of the pool.
Its water was once used to bathe the king in the coronation
ceremony of King Rama VI and King Rama VII.
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
visited Uthai Thani on 10 August 1906, like a monk’s bowl with a
pearl-inlaid lid, a stone monk’s bowl, a glazed bowl, a sack
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.

an ideal home to various rare and endangered animals such as
wild buffalo, rhinoceros, wild elephant, red gaur, tapir,
leopard, wild bull, etc. In addition, it is the watershed of
rivers flowing to Srinakharin Dam. Due to these attributes,

around 320 metres avove sea level. Colour cave drawings
stretch for around 9 metres. These prehistoric drawings are
of humans and animals in red and black.

an agrarian society and are artistic expressions of people
in ancient times. The drawings give insight into their
lifestyle and homesteads. They are certainly invaluable as
artistic heritage of the country. A number of earthenware
pieces of three-legged pots and stone axes were also found
in the area.

Hup Pa Tat
is a large valley with an area of about 48,000 square
metres. The mountain range surrounding the valley is a
limestone range. Part of it is Khao Huai Sok that connects
with Khao Pla Ra, about 1 kilometre away. The way up to the
cave is a margosa forest. Upon reaching the cave mouth you
will see a dark cave. After a walk of around 100 metres, you
will emerge from darkness and see the way down to the
valley. Looking around you will see a limestone mountain
surrounded by high cliffs. This enables sunlight to reach
the ground only at midday. Therefore, the valley has higher
humidity than other parts and this contributes to a wealth
of flora. The thick jungle features gigantic shrubs of the
genus Excoecaria that are similar to prehistoric trees.

route as Khao Pla Ra. It is 300 metres before the mountain.

that falls from a cliff. It can be clearly seen from the
road nearby. This beautiful waterfall flows from a small
stream 4 levels up. It is about 100 metres high. The highest
level is a stream that falls down to a pool on the second
level. The highest level is the level that can be viewed

from underground converges to form a little stream that
flows down to Than Khok Khwai or Huai Khun Kaeo. The water
is clear and pungent with the aroma of sulphur. The water is
so hot that it can boil an egg in 5 minutes. The Royla
Irrigation Department has constructed Huai Khun Kaeo
