The real highlight of this temple, built in 1888 by Prince Nude Kham during the reign of Rama V, is its small, now closed and unused Wihaan (prayer hall). It is located to the right of the more modern main building. Its decorations and carved lintels are beautiful, but what generally sticks in visitors' minds are the two crocodile statues at the bottom of the small staircase. Note that you may sometimes find signs or maps spelled Wat Chaeng.
