Prang at Wat Kasat Thirat, built during the later period of the Ayutthaya Kingdom.

Wat Kasatthirat was built during the later period of the Ayutthaya Kingdom. The well restored prang is relatively small. There are no stairs to access a niche inside the prang. Instead there are only small niches on the outside of the structure. The prang also tapers gently towards the top, and there are no decorations halfway (often garudas on older prangs).

Wat Kasatthirat is still an active temple, with many worshippers during the day.
