There is no clear record of when Wat Som was established; however, estimates based on the shape and decorative stucco of its main Khmer-style prang suggest the early Ayutthaya period.
Wat Som’s Khmer-style prang has some of the best-preserved stucco ornamentations of any temple in Ayutthaya. There are highly detailed geometric patterns and mythological figures - including Rahu eating the moon during an eclipse. Its lintels are especially worth a look. There is also the foundation of an ordination hall on site and several smaller chedi.
