Within the walls of the ancient city are several old temples of interest. Among them, Wat Phra Singh is perhaps the largest and most interesting, although it may not seem so at first glance. Upon entering the main gate, you're greeted by a large and dusty parking area. Across the lot is a large prayer hall with an intricately carved front. To your right, as you face the prayer hall, is a small elaborate library built on a high stone base. The base has many beautiful carvings which have recently been renovated, as have the gilded carvings on the gable ends. Continuing on around the complex in a counter-clockwise direction, you'll find a drum tower set in a yard shaded by many old trees.

Directly behind the large prayer hall is a smaller building that serves as the temples ordination hall. This is where young monks are ordained and some other important religious events are held. Next to the ordination hall, in a line with the prayer hall, is a large whitewashed pagoda. Next to it is a small but very ornate prayer hall which is worth a closer look. The outside is decorated in gold and ochre in a style which is ornate but without the gaudiness of many other temples. The decoration inside is also quite rich. There is a gold and red pattern on parts of the roof and back wall behind the altar. On the altar here sits the Phra Singh Buddha image from which the temple takes its name.
