Wat Suthat Thepwararam Ratchaworamahawiharn,was founded by King Rama I in the central area of Bangkok. He built the large Wiharn similar in style to the Wiharn of Wat Phanan Choeng in Ayutthaya. The Sukhothai style bronze Buddha, brought from Wat Mahathat in Sukhothai, was installed inside the Wiharn. The image was called Phra Toh or Phra Yai which means Big Buddha Image. The Wiharn (main hall) was completed in the reign of King Rama III. Then the Ubosot (Ordination Hall) was built along with a principal Buddha image for that hall. The temple was then named Wat Suthat Thepwararam. Later King RAma IV named the principal image inside the Wiharn Phra Phuttha Srisakkayamuni and the principal image inside the Ubosot Phra Phuttha Trilokachet.
