Wat Mahathat
The centrepiece of Wat Mahathat is Phra That Anon (aka Phra That Yasothon), a highly venerated Lao-style chedi. It’s said to date from AD 695 and to enshrine holy relics of Phra Anan (Ananda), the Buddha’s personal attendant monk. Much more interesting, however, is the gorgeous little hŏr đrai, dating to the 1830s and restored in 2008, which sits on stilts in a pond. If you ask a monk, he’ll let you look inside.

Wat Singh Ta
Wat Singh Ta is rather ordinary, but the block fronting its southeast corner is a treasure trove of classic Chinese shophouses. It’s 300m off the main road, west of Kasikornbank.
