The temple sits about 32 kilometers west of Bangkok and remains a popular pilgrimage site for devotees seeking blessings from its revered principal Buddha image.
The temple’s name derives from the area’s historical identity as “Rai Khing” (ginger field), where many Chinese settlers once cultivated ginger extensively. Local tradition credits its founding to Somdet Phra Phutthachan (Puk), a prominent monk and former abbot of nearby Wat Sala Poon, who initiated construction around the mid-19th century (sources vary between 1791 and 1851, during the reigns of Rama III or Rama IV).
