Wat Prayurawongsawas Worawihan

Construction began in 1828 during the reign of King Rama III. The temple holds the rank of second-class royal temple, Worawihan.

The Phra Borommathat Maha Chedi stands at the centre of a ring of 18 smaller stupas. Restoration of the main chedi and its adjoining hall received the 2013 UNESCO Asia-Pacific Award of Excellence for Cultural Heritage Conservation.

The Prayoon Bhandakhan Museum in the adjoining pavilion displays objects recovered during the chedi restoration, including Buddhist votive objects. Khao Mo is a separate rock garden with a pond within the temple grounds.
