Wat Noi Champi (วัดน้อยจำปี - Pronounced: Wot Noy Cham-pee)
Substantial-sized site situated a short distance west of Wat Chao Chan. The Buddhist temple consists of a brick chedi on a multi-tiered base with a small worshipping hall and a columned but unroofed hall to the east. The temple is surrounded by a laterite wall and is aligned with the entrance facing southeast. The sanctuary, as seen today, probably dates from the 16th century but is confirmed by Thai archaeologists as having been constructed over the top of an earlier, Khmer temple presumed to be contemporary with nearby Chao Chan. The form of the original structure is unknown although various recovered artefacts are now housed in the Wat Chom Cheun Archaeological Site Museum.
The site is unnamed by the Thai Fine Arts Department and simply listed as Monument 32, but is known to locals as Wat Noi Champi.
