Beautiful detail in the ornate decorations.

Phra Somdet Bangkhunprom who first used the family name 'Thanakoset' renovated the chedi around 2413-2415 B.E.
The base was 13 meters round and it was 16 meters high. Later, 84.000 Amulets votive tablets of Somdet Puttajarn (Arahant To Prommarangsri) were made with holy powdet [sic] and Maharat powder and were kept in the chedi in 2415 B.E.
At that time, Somdet lived in the pavilion (now the gas station).
In 2436 B.E. there was a territory dispute with France. The Gulf of Thailand was occuoied by French naval troops. The soldier [sic] and scared villagers knew that there were amulets hidden in the chedi, so they took them from the chedi. These amulets votive tablets were called 'Kru Wat Bangkhunprom'. It was believed that they brought to the owners good luck, prosperity, physical and spiritual well-being and supernatural power such as invulnarable [sic] to all weapons as well.
Later, some are of the compound was used as a fishing spot but it was closed by Phrakru Boriharnkhunawat in 2500 B.E. because locals stole the amulets and this might cause the chedi to collapse.
On November 24, 2500 B.E. Phrakru Boriharnkhunawat took all the amulets out of the chedi and found that 2950 amulets votive tablets were in fine condition. For the broken ones that could be fixed were sold to worshippers, but 30 boxes of irrepairable votive tablets were brought to be remoulded and kept in the chedi, which amounted to 84.000 in 2509 B.E.
The statue of Somdet and the amulets were all kept in the chedi. Some parts of broken amulets have been used as a major ingredient to make votive tablets until now.
