Located on Arun Amarin Road, Bangkok Noi District, on the western bank of the Chao Phraya River, this temple was built in Ayutthaya Period, and later renovated by King Rama I.
The name Wat Rakang was given after the renovation when a bell buried in the ground was found. (Rakang is a Thai word for bell.)
In Thai culture, ringing bells are compared to widespread fame. People thus come to Wat Rakang to pray for reputation.
