Wat Chalong

It was built at the beginning of the nineteenth century and is dedicated to two Buddhist monks. The two monks - Luang Pho Chaem and Luang Cho Chuang had led the locals in 1876 during the uprising by Chinese tin miners. 

The vast temple complex, Wat Chaithararam, has several religious structures and is an exemplary illustration of conventional Thai architecture. The chedi contains a sacred relic, a fragment of Buddha's bone. The expansive temple complex also includes many statues and wall paintings depicting the life story of Buddha.
