The location of this monastery is the central island of Chao Phraya River,
opposite the Palace. This ordination hall was designed as a Christian church of
Gothic art often found in Europe. The inner decoration was the western style.
The principal Buddha image, Phra Buddha Naruemon Dharmopath,and his disciples
foundation distinguished from other monasteries was made as the cross foundation
in the church. The windows were in arched shape.The most beautiful royal portrait
of King Rama V made from color glasses can be seen in front of The Buddha image
wall. On the right side of the ordination hall is Gandharat Buddha image's shrine
of more than 1000 year old. It is located near a big Po tree which branches out in
front of the ordination hall. Next to it is the first public school in Thailand which
has close connection with Somdej Krom Phraya Dhammrong Rachanupab who is
regarded as the Father of the Thai History. He was ordained here and his place of
residence in the monastery which is also known as "Thamnak Somdej" can still
be seen. During his monkhood, he composed a lesson book and started teaching
children around that area for the first time. At present there are big and small Sila
bricks around the ordination hall and also a pagoda or Chedi that contains the relic
of Chao Jom Manda Chum, mother of Somdej Krom Phraya Dhamrong Rachanupab
and concubine of King Rama IV.
