This is an important place of worship and a pagoda influenced by Sukhothai art. Inside the temple is the Chang Kham Pagoda, which is a Sukhothai art style dating back to around the 20th Buddhist century. Around the pagoda are half-bodied stucco elephants.

The base from the first level to the second level has elephants supporting it in the form of a pedestal, supporting 6 elephants on each side, for a total of 24 elephants.
