Located in a grove, Phra Yuen temple has a chedi (stupa) with a large square base and four tall standing Buddha images in arched niches. Elderly residents have recorded that the original structure at the site of the present chedi was a mondop (the Thai term derived from Sanskrit maṇḍapa meaning a pavilion and denoting a small square temple building used to house minor images or religious) with a pinnacled wooden roof (the mondop in the ubosot or ordinational hall of Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Mai is believed to be a loose copy of this vanished structure).
The structure had four standing Buddha images twice the height of the present ones. The chedi was rebuilt in a Burmese-style at the beginning of last century. Below is the inscription in front of the old chedi at Wat Phra Yuen. Reference to dates are recorded both in the Buddhist Era (B.E.) and Christian Era (A.D. – B.E. + 543 years)
