This temple has been known as Wat Tra Kuan since 1907 AD. Its name was mentioned in the stone inscription of Wat Sorasak around the middle of the 15th century AD, It is said that Venerable Maha Thera Dharmatrailok from Dao Khon came up north to see his nephew who was a ruler of Sukhothai and he resided at Wat Tra Kuan during his visit. Based on the supposition of King Rama VI, Tra Kuan is a Khmer word which means a kind of vegetables known in Thailand as Phak Bueng or morning glory in English. Important buildings in this temple include a circular bell shaped chedi and the ordination hall. Buddha images of the early Sukhothai period in Wat Tra Kuan style were also found here.
