According to the history of Wat Bang Chang Tai Temple, it was built in 1792 under the reign of King Rama I. In 1857, the second Uposatha hall was also built in place of the first one that had burned down, and a Buddha image was also relocated from an old temple in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya, transported by Ruea Pai Ma (Thai paddle boat), to enshrine there. The Buddha image is called Luang Pho Petch. It was a Chiang Saen art style Buddha image, seated in the posture of meditation. The image is now placed on a throne in the third Uposatha hall that was built in the time of King Rama VII, which is the present Uposatha hall of the temple. Wat Bang Chang Tai Temple was originally called “Wat Bang Chang” Temple. The famous Thera (senior monk) of Wat Bang Chang Tai Temple is Phrakru Vinayadhara (Yai Kittitharo), the 6th abbot of the temple. This information was recorded in a historical book entitled Sam Phran Cultures: Wat Bang Chang Tai Temple. The temple was given the status of Visumgamasama (land officially granted to build a temple) by the King on January 27, 1936. Phrakru Arundhammavisut is currently the abbot of the temple.
