It is the province’s oldest temple built around the reign of King Prasat Thong (1648 A.D.) in the Ayutthaya Period. It has undergone restoration and reconstruction since the reign of King Rama V of the Rattanakosin Period. Lately, a temple museum was established and the temple’s landscape has been well tidied, so it has become a local religious centre. Spots of interest within the temple include:

Other interesting buildings in the temple include Mu Kuti Lek Song Thai–a complex of small Thai-style monk’s cells or ‘Kuti’ which were built in accordance with the Buddhist discipline requiring each to be large enough to accommodate a single monk, one will be built for the person to be ordained and put in a procession to the temple on the day of the ordination; Ho Suat Mon or praying hall–a wooden hall built on octagonal wooden posts and roofed with glazed tiles and a projecting roof, with a carved and gilded gable depicting an angel in adoration and traditional panelled wall or ‘Fa Prakon’; Chedi –a square laterite and mortar Chedi with 12 redented corners; Wihan Fa Kradan–a brick and mortar image hall built on a curved Chinese junk-like base of the late Ayutthaya Period with a single roof and plank wall, etc. For more information, please call Tel. 0 3951 2636.

Wat Yotha Nimit (วัดโยธานิมิตร), also known as Wat Bot (วัดโบสถ์), is situated on Thetsaban 4 Road at the junction near the City Pillar Shrine. It is the only royal temple in Trat, which was built in the reign of King Taksin the Great when he was gathering his troops in order to liberate the country from Burma’s control. The construction was finished in the reign of King Rama III. The temple was once used as a place to hold the oath of allegiance ceremony by government officials since the reign of King Taksin until King Rama V, when the place to hold the ceremony was changed to Wat Phai Lom.

There is an old ordination hall of Ayutthayan art, containing murals which depict the Vessantara Jataka. At present, it serves as a Wihan called Wihan Yotha Nimit for storing many antiques such as palm-leaved books, scriptures for sermons and the Lord Buddha’s footprint. This Wihan was last renovated in 1975. They repaired the roof, columns, doors, windows and outer wall but their old forms still remained.

City Pillar Shrine (ศาลเจ้าพ่อหลักเมือง) is on Lak Mueang Road near Wat Yotha Nimit. It is different from other city pillar shrines because of its form as a Chinese pavilion. When King Taksin came to gather troops here, he ordered to build this city pillar which was believed by the Chinese to protect the city from enemies and to bring peace to the people. Therefore, the city pillar was a symbol to maintain a good relationship between the Thais and Chinese. Every year on the sixth night of the waxing moon period of the sixth lunar month, there is a celebration called, Phli Mueang Day (วันงานพลีเมือง) or known among the Chinese as Xia Gong Sae Yit (วันเซี่ยกงแซยิด) which means the birthday of the City Pillar God. There are many activities such as Thai alms-giving and Chinese Pung Tao Ma annual fair during a month before and after Chinese New Year.

It is said when France colonized Trat, French soldiers saw people in Trat going to pay homage to the city pillar everyday, so they wanted to pull the pillar down but could not. Although they used an elephant to pull it, it moved just a little. Then the Trat people helped together to renovate and maintain the pillar.

Wat Phai Lom (วัดไผ่ล้อม) located on Lak Mueang Road and has played an important role in the province’s education. It used to be a resident of Trat’s Father of Education–Than Chaokhun Phra Wimonmethachan Worayannurak.
