The brief history of Wat Intharam Worawiharn

Built during the Ayutthaya period, this monastery with many names was restored entirely by King Taksin the Great (1767-1782), who afterwards granted it the status of a royal temple. It was his favourite temple, where he came to stay overnight to meditate and observe religious precepts. In 1782, the temple was used to house the royal crematorium of the late King Taksin the Great. It retained its status as a royal temple throughout the reign of King Rama I (1782-1809), with three high ranking monks governing the monastery. During the reign of King Rama III (1824-1851), Phraya Srisahathep (Thong Pheng) restored it once again and asked the King to grant it the status of a royal temple. The request was granted but to a lower status than before. It was named then Wat Intharam.
