Wat ChangHai was built more than 300 years ago with precise name is 'wat ratburanaram'. The main important for Wat ChangHai are Reverend Somdet Luang Pu Thuad the most famous monk in whole of Thailand during the Kingdom of Ayutthaya.

Phra Ajahn Tim was appointed chief abbot of Wat ChangHai, have a strange dream and began to recall those words that the elderly monk told him, upon which he becomes conscious that the elderly monk was none other than Revered Somdet LP Thuad. Phra Ajahn Tim took many events into consideration and brings to mind those words mentioned by Revered Somdet LP Thuad, and with that inspiration whatever matter or issue Phra Ajahn Tim carry out, it become visible that every issue went smoothly without much problem. Ultimately, Wat ChangHai monastery was fully restored, but unfortunately Phra Ajahn Tim was succumbed to digestive tract cancer and passed away peacefully on 30th November 1969.
