Wat Phlup at Tambon Bang Kacha to the southwest of Chanthaburi town was the site of an old community during the late Ayutthaya period.
Special features are two ancient pagodas of different styles and an old Thai wooden pavilion.
The ancient site of Khai Noen Wong, also at Tambon Bang Kacha, was established as the town in circa 1834 during the reign of King Rama III.The town was moved from Ban Lum to this location because of its high grounds which were more suitable for defensive purposes against the invading Vietnamese.
