Wat ThaSung, located at Amphoe Muang of Uthai Thani was built in the Ayutthaya period with only a small temple on the ground. Later years with restoration took place with many interesting additions included murals inside the temple painted by local craftsmen depicting the story of Phra Buddha and a square structure with four arches and a pyramid shaped roof which houses a replica of a Phra Buddha Chinnaraj image and the un-decomposed body of LP Ruesi LingDam. Also added were the large meditation and study hall, the beautiful stucco inside the assembly hall, the wood carving panels, only a few of which are remaining and an ancient pulpit built by LP Yai. Opposite the temple the well known LP Ruesi LingDam founded several new places of worshio including an ordination hall with an elabotately decoratyed door and window panels and mural paintings by highly skilled artists.
Luang Phor Ruesi LingDam was a high ranking monk with full monkhood name is Phra Ratchaphrom Yan Nen. LP Ruesi LingDam had been ordained by LP Parn in BE2480 and later became the Abbot of Wat BangNomKho during BE2492-2500.
