Wat Choeng Tha was built during the later period of Ayutthaya. It is located close to Wat Na Phramen. Wat Choeng Tha is an active temple with many of its ancient structures still in situ. One of its defining features is a large Khmer-style prang with niches in each of the cardinal directions.

The ruin of a sermon hall is located in front of the prang. This has been renovated to the
basic foundation layer but includes several of its walls. More standing Buddha images are
found in arched niches at the back wall of the sermon hall, which is adjacent to the
Khmer prang.

A more recent altar had been constructed towards the middle of the viharn, and two Buddha images sit upon it in the Taming Mara pose. Many fragments of Buddha images are found all around this sermon hall. These formed a gallery perhaps.

Wat Choeng Tha has been historically known under different names. According to local
legend, this monastery might have been originally named Wat Koi Tha. As the story
goes, the daughter of a wealthy man feel in love and eloped against her father’s will. He
decided to build a bridal house in forgiveness after she returned. However, the daughter
never came back, so her father ordered a temple to be built on the spot and it was
named Wat Koi Tha.
