The temple
is said to be over two hundred years old,
established
during the reign of the
Ayutthayan
King
Borommakoht, though the part of the temple shaped as
the royal barge dates from
around the mid or late 19th century.
The barge is obviously much larger than the original, as can be seen from the monk underneath the bow
(fig.).
