Wat Woranaat Banphot, originally known as Wat Kobb or Wat Khao Kobb during the Sukhothai period, was referred to as Wat Pak Phra Bang. This royal temple is affiliated with the Maha Nikaya sect of Buddhism. In 1966, it was esteemed by the Department of Religious Affairs and the Supreme Sangha Council as a model development temple. Not only is Wat Woranaat Banphot recognized for its exemplary status, but it also holds immense historical and cultural significance in Nakhon Sawan province. The temple is situated on the peak and foothills of Khao Kobb, standing approximately 185.50 meters above sea level. Historical evidence suggests that the temple was likely founded in 1962 during the Sukhothai era by Phaya Ban Muang, who constructed the chedi and vihara and dug ponds to plant lotus flowers as offerings to the Buddha. He also planted the sacred Bodhi tree at the monastery to dedicate merit to his brother, Phaya Ram, who passed away while fighting in the southern territories at the city of Phra Bang, which is present-day Nakhon Sawan. For those wishing to visit the temple, there are two options for the ascent: you can climb up the 437 steps or, for a more leisurely journey, you have the option to drive up the cement road that leads to the summit.
