Wat Worachet is situated west of the main city. It can be reached by traveling along Highway 3263, which is the main road leading to Sena.
Wat Worachet is often confused with a monastery sharing a similar name that is located
directly on the city island. This has lead to many complications when interpreting history
as it relates to the two monasteries. The same facts are sometimes mistakenly attributed
to both temples. To be clear, this western temple will be referred to as Wat Worachet
because Royal Chronicles specifically mention a temple in this geographic location by
that name. I will refer to the monastery situated on the city island as Worachetharam
because that is how it is named on Phraya Boran Rachathanin�s 1926 map. Sources
have inadvertently labeled both monasteries as Wat Worachet Thep Bamrung, so I will
refrain from using this name to avoid confusion.
