Wat Tawet is located south, off the city island, West of Khlong Khu Cham and south of the Chao Phraya River; opposite the ruins of Wat Tha Hoi.
In situ is an unrestored ruin consisting of a brick mound covered with vegetation. The front wall of a monastic structure is still standing. The site could have been surrounded by a moat.
Its historical background and period of construction are unknown. The site has been victim of treasure farming in earlier times.
