The temple is located on the River Yom about one kilometer southeast of Si Satchanalai. It is known among the local people as wat Phra Prang. The principle monument is a large prang of laterite, believed to have been built in the reign of King Borom Trailokanart(1448-1488) to cover the original Khmer prang. It was restored in the reign of King Borom Kot(1732 1758).
