| WAT KAEW FA |
Wat Kaew Fa of the "Monastery of the Azur Glass" is a large site covered plentiful
with old bricks. The monastic building is covered in vegetation, while a standing pillar is
still visible as a lone witness of the past.
To the west remnants of a large chedi-like structure consisting of bricks and laterite can
be seen. The chedi as the rest of the monastic site has been plundered in earlier times.
The site is located off the city island in the southern area, west of Khlong Ku Cham.
Its historical background and period of construction are unknown.
Muslim Chams coming from the Kingdom of Champa in Central and Southern Vietnam
at that time resided near Wat Lot Chong. Their main occupation was weaving cloth. [1]
