Located in front of Wat Chang Lom, this temple is more beautiful than others in Sukhothai. It features a variety of stupas showcasing authentic Sukhothai art, along with a blend of Sukhothai and Srivijaya influences. The main architectural highlight is the central stupa shaped like a budding lotus, situated behind the assembly hall, accompanied by 33 smaller stupas and various small edifices, all surrounded by an additional glass wall. Outside this wall, there is a sermon hall and a water pond. The smaller stupas here exhibit artistic influences from various regions, including Lanka and Pagan. Notably, behind the main stupa is a smaller stupa with a distinct square base and a round top. Inside this stupa, there is an archway that houses a standing Buddha statue. The mural paintings depict scenes from the past of the Buddha and celestial deities. Additionally, the rear arch of the relic house features a Buddha statue in the Naga posture. The name "Wat Jed Thaeo," which translates to "Temple of the Seven Rows of Stupas," is derived from the numerous rows of stupas found within the temple compound. His Royal Highness Prince Damrong Rajanubhab speculated that this temple is a site for the enshrined relics of the Sukhothai royal family.
