Residanggamport Residence
Residanggamport Residence on Lak Muang Road is an old
3-storey building once used the residence of the French
governor when the town was occupied in 1904-1907. Subsequently,
it was turned into the residence of Trat governors since
1928.
the City Pillar
Located on Lak Muang Road, the City Pillar stands
in a Chinese-style building. Erected by King Tak Sin,
it is a highly revered edifice for the townspeople
Wat Bupharam
On Highway No.3 (Sukhumvit) just opposite the Trat
Hospital is a turn into Plai Khlong Road which leads
to Wat Bupharam , a distance of two kilometres. Built
in circa 1648 during the Ayutthaya era, it features
the oldest wooden Viharn in the country. The architectural
style and the remaining wall murals are of early Rattanakosin
influence with a mix of Chinese touch. The temple’s
museum houses scores of valuable ancient relics, particularly
the Holy Relic, Buddha statues in different postures
and Chinese and European porcelain items. All these
point to commercial and cultural exchanges carried
out between the different parts of the world in the
past.
Wat Yotha Nimit
Wat Yotha Nimit , also known as Wat Bot, is located
on Thetsaban 4 Road near the city pillar. With fine
murals in its former Ubosot, the temple was once used
as the site for oath of allegiance ceremony by government
officials since the time of King Tak Sin. The rite
was shifted to Wat Phai Lom by King Rama V.
