The temple complex features traditional Thai architectural elements with wooden structures, detailed carvings, and a main hall without support columns.

Originally named Wat Don Kaew, this temple served as a location where prisoners listened to monks before execution until its reconstruction in 1802.

The temple holds regular meditation sessions led by Phra Kru Palad Nantawat, drawing numerous followers who participate in Buddhist practices and teachings.

Visitors can access the temple grounds from early morning until sunset, with clear guidance provided for proper conduct during worship activities.
