Located on a small mount and is approachable by a path way paved with stone slabs. It literally means the Temple of the Beautiful Chedi (Stupa). Wat Chedi Ngram is in between Wat Kamphaeng Hin to the north and Wat Tam Hip Bon to the south. With no inscription nothing is much known about the history of the Chedi.

Located on top of 200-m-high hill Wat Saphan Hin is the most visited monument in the western zone. It contains a 12.5-m-high statue of standing Buddha, known as Phra Attharot. The name Saphan Hin translates as ‘stone bridge’ and refers to the slate and stone pathway that leads to the top of the hill where the original temple once stood. Today apart from the giant statue only a handful of pillars stand. According to an inscription King Ramkamhaeng would ride his white elephant up to Wat Saphan Hin on the full moon to pay his respects to Lord Buddha.
Located on a quiet shaddy hilltop of about 200 m high, Wat Tham Hip Bon comprises two chedi flanking a modestly sized viharn (assembly hall). The remains of a smaller assembly hall and a few other structures are scattered about the site.
