Kuti Ruesi Ban Khitun (กุฏิฤาษีบ้านขี้ตุ่น - Pronounced:Koo-tee Rer-see Baan Kit-tum)

Meagre vestiges scattered among a rubber plantation are all that remains of this ancient sanctuary today. Old photos show traces of a surrounding moat opening to the east which faces a still intact reservoir some 200m to the east-northeast. The moat showed an alignment of some 80 degrees which is identical to that of the reservoir and indeed the plantation also shows a similar overall orientation.

No standing structures or even foundations remain while vestiges include bricks and several sandstone blocks such as sections of door frames. (One of the latter features some curious geometric carvings.) Laterite vestiges are absent although these may have been ploughed under when the plot was prepared as a plantation while such blocks are often reused for the construction of monastery buildings. (The adjacent Wat Khitun may be worth a look.)

Located to the east is a rectangular man-made reservoir Sra Si Liam (Khok Sa-at).
