Wat Chedi (วัดเจดีย์): an ancient Buddhist temple more than 1,000 years old in Chalong Subdistrict, this place is famous for "I Khai" (ไอ้ไข่), a wood carving in the shape of a child, aged about 9-10 years old. He is believed to be a local boy who drowned in the temple area and became a Kuman Thong. Each day, many people pay obeisance to him to ask for fortune. Vows are often made to offer cock fighting figures or firecrackers.[2]
