Wat Jed Yod is easy to get to. It’s located just off of the Super Highway near where it starts at the Rincome intersection and near my school.
Location : Mueang District Wat Jed Yod
Wat Jed Yod Wat Jed Yod is probably one of the least visited major temples. Jet Yod translates to "seven peaks" and refers to the seven chedis which top a structure in the temple complex (left). It's a very unusual - for Thailand - temple building. That's because it's a copy, sort of, of the Mahabodhi Temple at Bodhgaya in India. It was built in the 15th century to host the Eighth World Buddhist Council. Nobody seems to know the results of the council, but the temple remains. There's an uninviting cave-like hall in the rectangular base of the structure supporting the seven chedi, while a more typical modern wiharn stands in front of the old monument.
Jed Yod means Seven Spires - a reference to the Wat's Chedi of unusual shape - a Chedi with seven spires. The Wat lies in the outskirts of the city, in northwesterly direction from the center. The seven-spired Chedi is suppost to be a copy of a former Pagoda at Bagan, Myanmar.
