Long ago Wat Khae Nok was called Wat Yommalok. Two devoted Buddhists built it around 1703. This temple became a landmark for the Bang Khun Thian people. A canal flowed in front. It connected easily to the Chao Phraya River. The temple hosted events like Loy Krathong Songkran and Buddhist ceremonies. After World War II it changed its name to Wat Bang Khun Thian Nok. Phra Athikan Samniang the abbot led this change. He wanted the name to reflect its location in the Bang Khunthian neighborhood. The ordination hall shows Chinese architectural style. It was built during the third reign. Porcelain decorates the gable ends. Floral designs adorn the porcelain. The main Buddha image inside is Sukhothai style. He sits in meditation. Fifteen other Buddha images surround him. Four chedis are located at each compass point around the ordination hall. The consecrated boundary measures 16 meters wide and 21 meters long. In 2007 Ms Phanid Amon donated money to improve the ordination hall. The Fine Arts Department registered it as an archaeological site. Its murals are significant.
