Wat Jaeng

Founded around the same time as the city, Wat Jaeng has an adorable Lan Xang–style bòht (built in 1887) with large naga eave brackets on the sides, crocodiles along the stairs and Airavata with two mythical lions atop the carved wooden facade. A travelling market fills up the grounds every Wednesday.
