Built in 1909, it is located in an area that is a predominantly Muslim. the Thai side raised the fact that since this is a Buddhist temple, it should remain with Thailand. The British relented and agreed to use the Golok River ( Tak Bai River) that flows through Tak Bai as the boundary. Therefore , the temple is also called Wat Phithak Phaen Din Thai or the temple that protects Thai sovereignty. The temple is generally peaceful and has a spacious lawn on the riverbank that is ideal for relaxation. The Chapel, built in the reign of King Rama V, has murals drawn by monks from Songkhla. The paintings depict the life of the Lord Buddha and the daily life of locals at that time.
