Wat Intharavihan is an ancient temple built during the Ayutthaya period.

Originally named Wat Bang Khun Phrom Nok after the district, King Rama I granted the land for the settlement of Vientiane families. Later, Chao In, the uncle of Chao Noi Khiao Khom, a royal consort of King Rama I, renovated the temple and named it Wat Intharam. Monks from Vientiane, who were former teachers of Somdet Phra Phutthachan (To), were invited to govern the temple. During the reign of King Rama VI, it was renamed Wat Intharavihan to avoid confusion with Wat Intharam in Bang Yi Ruea. The temple is located on Wisut Kasat Road. If walking, you can enter through Soi Samsen 10. If driving, turn left onto Wisut Kasat Road, and you will see the temple gate on the left. Inside, there is a parking building. On the right, you will see the main ordination hall in Ayutthaya style with a curved base like a ship, adorned with chofah, bai raka, and hang hong. The gable features a depiction of Narayana riding Garuda, facing east. There are boundary markers on a high base in eight directions. The principal Buddha image is Luang Pho In, in the Mara Vichaya posture. Inside, there are murals depicting the history of Somdet Phra Phutthachan (To). Behind the ordination hall, there is a white Lanka-style stupa and two white prangs. There are also statues of King Taksin and King Rama V.
