Meaning Temple of the Royal Niece, the temple was built to the order of King Nangklao (Rama III) for the princess granddaughter, Somanass Waddhanawathy (พระเจ้าหลานเธอ พระองค์เจ้าโสมนัสวัฒนาวดี) in 1846.
The Wat is home to local markets and a unique Metal temple - the only one of it's kind in the world, know as Loha Prasat
most stunning at night
It is the third Loha Prasada (brazen palace) in existence, modelled after the earlier ones in India and Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka. In the past, Loha Prasat was hidden behind an old movie theatre named Chaloem Thai. The theatre was demolished in 1989 as a project to improve scenery along Ratchadamnoen Road.
