Wat Kan Luang or Wat Ban
Kan Luang, วัดก้านเหลืองหรือวัดบ้านก้านเหลือง is a temple
in Muang Tambon Kham Yai, Ubon Ratchathani, Thailand. The
wat was founded in 1771 and was given royal status in 1785. The first
abbot and founder was Venerable Sriraksa. The north and south walls of
the Ubosot are decorated with a series bas relief dioramas. The temple is also the site
of the Ban Kan Luang archeological site which was excavated by the Thailand Fine Arts
Department in 1992. Artifacts excavated included implements, beads and
other ornaments, pottery and iron axes. The dates of the site are
believed to extend back to approximately 2000 years ago. There is a
small museum at the site explaining the excavation and showing some of the
