Wat That, near the centre of town, originates from 1789, about the same time as the city was founded. The main ubosot is an impressively tall three storey building, the extra floor having been added in 1996. The interior, all in red, has quite a powerful effect, creating both calm and vigilance at the same time. Odd, to the point of mystifying, was the golden dinosaur in the corner, complete with animatronics. This doesn’t appear in photos online, so must have been a recent innovation, for novelty or otherwise. The main chedi which is 45 metres tall was built in 1981 to replace the previous one that had fallen into disrepair. The chedi is covered in orange mosaic tiles but was obscured this time by a yellow covering.
