City Pillar Shrine

City Pillar
The Chinese style city pillar shrine

Between Bahn Vichien and the river is a small Chinese styled shrine which stands on the place where the old city pillar is thought to have been. Inside the main chapel are three altars. The left one has a Lopburi style Buddha image while the right altar has a more Confucian statue.

The shrine backs up against the ruins of Wat Puen Yai. There's really nothing left of the temple except the crumbling brick walls of the prayer chapel.
