Wat Chang Lom- Wat Chang Lom comprises a large Ceylonese style Chedi and is pictured above. At its base on all 4 sides are large elephant stucco sculptures, giving the impression they support the whole structure above them. On the terraced level above on all 4 sides are niches in each of which is a Buddha statue image. The structure is believed to date from the 13 th C. Originally it was surrounded by a moat. It would have stood in what was then the centre of the town.
