Wat Nang or the "Monastery of the Deer Skin" was located on the city island, outside
the Historical Park in the east of the city, at present Ho Rattanachai sub-district.
The monastery was situated on the south bank of Khlong Pratu Ho Rattanachai and on
the west bank of Khlong Nai Kai, presently called Khlong Makham Riang and stood
south of Wat Senasanaram also called Wat Senat. To its east were the defunct Wat
Khwang and the still active monastery Wat Prasat.
There are no traces anymore visible of the monastery above ground level.
Historical data about the monastery and its construction are unknown.
The site is indicated on a map drafted in the mid-19th century, but not on Phraya Boran
Rachathanin's map of 1926. The mid-19th century map indicates the existence of a chedi.
