The city's most interesting temple was supposedly founded by Thao Suranari and her husband in 1827. Half of her ashes are interred in a small stupa (the other half are at her monument) and so there are also singing troupes on hire to perform for her spirit here. A small statue of the heroine sits praying in the pond in front of the temple's award-winning bóht . The temple is usually teeming with people making offerings.
Built in 1967, the bóht resembles a Chinese junk and holds a large gleaming-white Buddha image in 'calming the ocean' posture. It, and other buildings, are decorated with Dan Kwian pottery. Elsewhere around the grounds are a variety of spirit shrines that have nothing to do with Buddhism.
