Wat Nan Chang

Excavated from 2002 to 2003, the temple primarily provides evidence of ancient flooding in the region, having been inundated by some 1.8 meters of sediment.

Notably within the 'Wiang Kum Kam archaeological group, the site includes structures from two different historic periods that had been built directly on top of one another.

A stucco of a makara (a mythical sea creature from Indian mythology, blending crocodile, dolphin and elephant features) with a nāga protruding from its mouth was found associated with a stairway.

Under the middle of the main pedestal base for the main Buddha image in the vihara, three additional stuccos were found of a qilin (Chinese mythical creature), a hemaraj (an apparently either uniquely Thai or rare South Asian mythical lion/swan creature) and a lion.

In addition, Chinese ceramics of the Ming dynasty were found in two groups, demonstrating a trade relationship between Wiang Kum Kam and China.
