From a French map of Thonburi made in the reign of King Narai it can be seen that the temple existed when Ayutthaya was Siam ’s capital. The temple was formerly known as Wat Makok, and when King Taksin built his palace, he ordered the temple to be annexed to it. The king restored it and renamed it Wat Jaeng. It was restored again by King Rama II, and renamed Wat Arunratchawararam. King Rama IV later changed the name to Wat Arunratchawararam.

The Palace has been constantly expanded and many additional structures were added over time. The present King of Thailand, King Bhumibol Adulyadej, however, resides at the Chitralada Palace. Wat Phra Kaew [Wat Phra Sri Rattana Satsadaram], The temple is in the outer section of the Royal Enclosure west of the Grand Palace .
