Wat Muang (Wat Pitulathirat Rangsarit)

156 Marupong Road, Na Muang, Chachoengsao City.

This ancient temple has a long historical background and was once a site for the execution of criminals during the reign of King Rama III. Originally, the locals referred to this temple as Wat Mueang. Later, during the reign of King Rama V, when he visited Chachoengsao, the temple was graciously renamed “Wat Pitulathiratchrangsarit,” meaning the temple built by the uncle of the monarch. Within the temple, several interesting features draw visitors' attention, including a bell tower constructed in 1935, the hall of Prince Rakhrahanrath, and a small shrine built in Chinese architectural style. The old ubosot is located next to the Bang Pakong River, facing east. Additionally, there is a vihara that showcases an intricately designed four-tiered roof, with a front and back porch. Inside this vihara rests the principal Buddha statue and four additional Buddha images, each with a lap width of about three feet. There is also a bronze replica of the Buddha's footprint and 108 auspicious images cast during the reign of King Rama III by Prince Duangchakkra, alongside the historical construction of Chachoengsao’s city walls.
