The temple is on the bank of the Noi river, a minor tributary of the Chao Phraya river. Its name means "four hundred". It was named to salute to Khun Rong Palat Chu, the Ayutthayan nobleman and 400 Wiset Chai Chan locals who sacrificed their lives during the battle with Burmese army at Ao Wa Khao (modern day part of Ao Noi, Prachuap Khiri Khan) in 1759. Ultimately, they all died. Their heroic deeds are compared to the Battle of Thermopylae. The temple was built to honor them.
The principle Buddha statue called Luang Pho To. Luang Pho To is a large Buddha statue in the Pa Lelai posture, 21 m (68.9 ft) high and 6 m (19.7 ft) wide, enshrined in the open air. Somebody called him as Luang Pho Rong Hai or crying Buddha statue because it was said that somebody saw blood-like fluid dropped from his nose in 1987.
