Wat Khok Mamuang, currently a royal temple, is an ancient temple, from the temple registration of the National Buddhism Office (2522), indicating that the temple was established in 1838, corresponding to the reign of King Nang Klao Chao Yu Hua, which was granted Wisung Kam Sima once. After January 24, 1963

Various Senasana buildings within the temple were built during the reign of King Rama V and continue to the present. The style of the aforementioned Senasana building reflects the history of the local community very well, especially the water tower that has artistic beauty that is currently very rare to see (The Fine Arts Department 2022).

Trai in the middle of the water is a building with a square plan, about 5.8 x 5.8 meters in size, with flakes overlapped. The base of the building is a wooden pillar located on a cement stump. which is located in the middle of the pond On the west side, there is one entrance door, which is connected to a wooden bridge connecting the building to the shore. The rest of the leather is one window on each side. The roof is hipped, stacked up to 3 floors, covered with clay tiles. The eaves area is decorated with stenciled galvanized sheets with colored drawings. Inside Hor Trai, there is a painting on the wooden ceiling depicting Chulamani Chedi on a bright yellow background (Phanuwat Ueasamarn et al. 2018:256).
