Wat Kuti Bang Khem

The temple is thought to succeed Wat Ka Chap, an old temple of the late Ayutthaya or early Rattanakosin period destroyed by the Burmese army. Villagers moved some of its artefacts to build a new temple here, Wat Kuti, which was officially founded in 1832.

The carved teak ordination hall is the work of Nai Rayom, a Phetchaburi craftsman who did all the carving himself, using teak brought from Nakhon Sawan province. It was completed in 1930.

The hall is seven bays long. Its wooden walls are made of 21 carved panels showing the Ten Jatakas, the Vessantara Jataka and Journey to the West (Xi You Ji). The front gable shows a coin with the royal crown from the reign of King Rama VI, the rear gable a coin from the reign of King Rama V, and the building stands on 60 pillars.
