| Site | Type | Why it matters | Live boundary |
|---|---|---|---|
| Wat Chaiwatthanaram | historical temple ruin / active temple | Use as heat-exposed heritage-route stop; pair with old-city bike/tuk-tuk route logic. | Open-air ruins amplify heat and rain; river/lowland flood risk should be a live signal. |
| Wat Mahathat | historical temple ruin / active temple | Use as heat-exposed heritage-route stop; pair with old-city bike/tuk-tuk route logic. | Open-air ruins amplify heat and rain; river/lowland flood risk should be a live signal. |
| Wat Phra Si Sanphet | historical temple ruin / active temple | Use as heat-exposed heritage-route stop; pair with old-city bike/tuk-tuk route logic. | Open-air ruins amplify heat and rain; river/lowland flood risk should be a live signal. |
| Wat Ratchaburana | historical temple ruin / active temple | Use as heat-exposed heritage-route stop; pair with old-city bike/tuk-tuk route logic. | Open-air ruins amplify heat and rain; river/lowland flood risk should be a live signal. |
| Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon | historical temple ruin / active temple | Use as heat-exposed heritage-route stop; pair with old-city bike/tuk-tuk route logic. | Open-air ruins amplify heat and rain; river/lowland flood risk should be a live signal. |
These still matter to the route, but they do not all deserve stand-alone public pages yet.
