The Chedi of Cham Thewi or the pyramid tower of Wat Ku Kud was constructed in the Hariphumchaya period.
The chedi is a square tower of which five cubes of graded size are placed one on the top of the other and the largest one is at the bottom of the chedi similar to Buddhagaya in India. Around the Chedi are levels of arches holding a total of 60 Buddha statues. Ashes of the queen are enshrined within the Chedi.
The statues are Buddhist images in various style. Most of them belong to the Dvaravati and U-Thong school and date back to the 14 and 15 century B.E.
