Wat Khao Angkhan วัดเขาพระอังคาร ....
Although this peaceful temple atop an extinct volcano has an ancient past, as evidenced by the 8th- or 9th-century Dvaravati sandstone boundary markers, it's the modern constructions that make Wat Khao Angkhan worth a visit. The bòht (ordination hall) and several other flamboyant buildings were erected in 1982 in an unusual nouveau-Khmer style that sort of harks back to the age of empire. Inside the bòht, the Jataka murals, painted by Burmese artists, have English captions.
The temple also hosts a Chinese-style pagoda and a 29m reclining Buddha, and offers beautiful views of the surrounding mountains.
