Wat Trai Trung (Wat Wang Pratard) - Kamphaeng Phet - Thailand 2024

Muang Trai Trung is 18 kilometers away from Kamphaeng Phet. According to Singhonwatguman Legend, in 1004, King Chaisiri of Chiang Rai evacuated his people to this Muang Trai Trung for a shelter during wartime.

It was regarded as a temporary residence. However, it was later on occupied by more people, which then turn this town into a city.

At present, the remains of the city wall and stupa can still be seen. The area of the town is in the shape of a rectangle, in parallel to the river Ping. It is 450 meters wide and 800 meters long.

Inside the wall, there are two important temples, which are Wat Jed Yod and Wat Phra Prang. To the south outside the city wall, there is a big temple called, Wat Wang Pratard. At this temple, there is a stupa decorated in Thai style or Phoon Kao Bin style. There are small pagodas guarding around this one in four directions. Archaeological excavation found small old stone beads, ancient Roman lamp and shards of porcelian scattered inside the temple.

This area is a bit south of the main historical park. There isn’t much to see and not worth a special trip to explore the area.
