Oung-In in the reign of King Ramathibodi II,
the tenth king of
Ayutthaya,
ordered the construction of this temple in 1499
A.D.
The temple was the place where the king of
Thailand and the king of
Burma agreed on the peace issue and as a
witness they had brought
the Buddha image, the holy book and monks
there.
After that in 1760 A.D. the king of Burma had
invaded Thailand and
used this temple to place canons and fired them
into the Royal
Palace area. One of this shells hit a part of
royal palace named
Suriya Ammarin and destroyed it. During that
war King Along Phya
fired a canons by himself and one of the canons
bursted out and
he was seriously injured. He had to withdraw
the troops and intended
to go back to Burma, but he died at Tak border.
Thus Wat Na Phrameru Rachikaram was the only
temple not destroyed
during the war with the Burmese.
