Phra That Don Kaeo or known as Phra Mahathat Chedi is located at Mu 5, Ban Don Kaeo, enshrined in the middle of Wat Mahathat Chedi. It is a rectangular chedi similar to Phra That Phanom, about 18 meters high.

 

Each floor has a carved image about the Buddha's history, hell-heaven. The construction of the relic is a square-shaped sandstone, approximately 1 cubit long. The outer perimeter is plastered with cement. It is assumed that Wat Phra That Don Kaeo, Bai Sema and Stone Pillars were built around the 12th-13th century.
