Wat Klang was located off the city island in the northern area at Khlong Sra Bua
sub-district. The temple was situated on the east bank of Sra Bua canal in an area called
Thung Kaew. Wat Phisua stood on its north side and Wat Raeng in the south. Wat Sri
Pho and Wat Phrom Kalayaram lie in the west opposite the canal.

influences. Old satellite chedi are standing in the vicinity of the ubosot.
