This ethnic Mon temple is at Tambon Khlong Ta Khot, Amphoe Photharam, some 20 kilometres from Ratchaburi. The monastery has an ancient history. It is said that the temple was first built in the pre-Ayutthaya Period (before 1350), but it was abandoned when the Burmese invaded the country in 1767 and sacked the capital. The monastery was later rebuilt by the inhabitants of a nearby Mon settlement. The fine mural paintings about Lord Buddha's life in the main shrine hall are full of detail making them seem real. Completed in the Ayutthaya period (1350-1767), they are very rare and worth studying.
