This Temple stands opposite Wat Umong on Ratchapakhinai Rd,(marked by place mark 6 on our Google map).
You can either walk down Ratchadamnoen Rd, turning right out of the cafe, across the first crossroads and then left at the second intersection; or if you have already found your way to Wat Umong Mahatcheran, then cross over the street from the front of that Temple.
At the time of my visit the site was in some disarray, looking somewhat neglected but I believe that it is yet another Wat on the restoration list.
Although there was no written history available, I had a very nice chat with a very friendly guy called ,Tong Chai.
Tong Chai informed me that the Wat and the Chedi behind it is over 500 years old and is built and decorated in the original Lanna style.
Despite its present condition, as with most of these wonderful buildings, there is no hiding the beauty, and I look forward to seeing this one again after restoration is finished.
There was a stunning painting on the side of the Vihara, and, I suspect, more inside the Temple.

Impressive !
