It is a working temple rather than a monument, busy with Thai families making merit. The chedi's interior murals tell the Buddha's life in detail.
How to visit it well
- Dress code applies; sarongs are lent at the entrance.
- Remove shoes before the chedi.
- Combine with the Big Buddha on the same loop.
