The temple was re-established from the forme "Wat Samor-rai," by Somdet Chao Phraya Naha Surasinghanat. Restoration had been continuously carried on from King Rama I to King Rama III periods. Renovations was made again by King Rama IV who also renamed the temple Wat Rachtathiwatwihan, which means "the temple where the king resides."
Ubosot: The main chapel, was re-designed by HRH Prince Naris in Khmer style. The fresco mural was by Prof. C. Rigoli, an Italian artist.
                Sala Karnparian: The instruction hall, is a large teak Ayutthaya style building also re-designed by HRH Prince Naris, who imitated the design of the instruction hall of  Wat Suwannaram in Petchburi. The hall is praised "the biggest and most beautiful wooden structure in the Far East."
