Sakae Krang Hill overlooks Uthai Thani offering splendid views, particularly at sunset. You can tackle the 449 steps to the top or drive up via a back road if you don’t fancy being soaked through before you’ve really started your day. The wat itself contains one of the province’s most sacred Buddha images along with a replica of the Buddha’s footprint. The large bell was installed in 1900 and it is said that those who didn’t ring the bell haven’t really visited Uthai Thani. I only read that after I got back. Needless to say, I didn’t ring the bell. Oh well, I’ll make do with my Schrödinger’s visit to Uthai Thani.
