This temple is located in the vicinity of Tambon Bang Phut,
4 kms. from Amphoe Pak Kret. It was constructed at the time
when the Mon people, led by Phraya Cheng, migrated into
the Kingdom during the reign of King Taksin of the Thonburi
era (late 18th century). There is a building constructed
to commemorate King Rama V's Queen Sunantha who drowned
in a shipwreck. Her body was temporarily placed in the temple
prior to transfer into Bangkok.
