Wat Rakhang Kositaram Woramahawihan (Rakang) was originally built during the Ayutthaya Period (1351 - 1767), but was renovated by King Buddha Yodfa Chulaloke (Rama I, 20 March 1736 – 7 September 1809), and sits on the Thonburi side of Bangkok's Chao Phraya River. Rama I lived within the temple compound before he became king
