This temple played a crucial role in the wars fought by the villagers of Bang Rachan to defend their land. The temple grounds hold fascinating historical significance, as they originally served as a fortress against the Burmese army that invaded Ayutthaya in 1765. They held out for five months, and in 1955 the temple was registered as a historical site. The name "Wat Mai Daeng" derives from the numerous red trees on the temple grounds. These trees are extremely long-lived; some died over 200 years ago.

The "Ban Rachan Retro Thai Market" is also located on the temple grounds. Local vendors offer regional specialties, hard-to-find traditional snacks, handcrafted products, and fresh fruits and vegetables from village farms. Prices start at just ten baht. The market is open every Saturday and Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
