A tall laterite main prang stands on a square platform surrounded by four chedis situated at the four cardinal directions. There is a stair to the prang on the east side. This is considered as Thai prang style due to its high platform, whereas Khmer style tends to use a lower platform. A large porch protrudes to be a grotto in front of the prang. Unlike the Khmer style, this corn-cob shaped prang is adorned by tipped spears at the top. Besides these construction elements, Khmer prang, often called prasart, were built for housing Hindu deities, whilst the Thai prang is for Buddhist relics and Buddha images.
Golden Buddha images as well as regalia were kept in the prang vault until thieves stole the valuable items in 1956 AD . Only some treasures were left and currently they are housed in the room of Wat Ratchaburana's golden items in Chao Sam Phraya Museum.
