WAT CHEDI YOD THONG
This temple was an out-town temple situated outside the City wall of Muang Pitsanuloke Phaya Sua Road, the same road as Wat Aranyig.
Wat CHedi Thong at present, can be seen only the Stupa of budding lotus shape of Sukhothai period. The base is about 9 meters in diameter with a height of 20 meters. Top of the budding lotus was peeled off and it was observed that it was braced by plastering.
It should be noted that the Budding Lotus dome of the Stupa which was the art of Sukhothai period still existed in Changvad Pitsanuloke as the only Stupa. As to Pra Prang (Pra Sri RatanaMahatat) at Wat Pra Sri Ratana Mahatat,

those who knew confirmed that the original was of Budding Lotus type but was reformed to the type in the reign of Somdej Pra Borom Tri LokaNart.
It, therefore, can be ascertained that Wat Chedi Yod Thong must be an old temple built in the same period with Wat Pra Sri Ratana MahaTat which should be conserved for future generations.
