Site Size & Condition: Small Ruin Wat Pa Khamin (วัดป่าขมิ้น - Pronounced: Wot Pa K'min)

Small, highly ruined site situated on the southern edge of the forest south of Wat Pa Krasa. (Note, the name Khamin refers to the turmeric plant rather than the shorter K'min meaning Khmer in Thai.) The remains of a vihara, aligned southwest-northeast - are preceded to the southwest by a truncated, bell-shaped chedi placed on a cruciform laterite base.

While said terrace could conceivably have featured an earlier structure, the site, as seen today, is generally assigned a mid to late Sukhothai-period date.
