Across Khlong Maha Sawat is an area of Tambon Wat Chalo, Bang Kruai District, Nonthaburi Province. The temple was built during the Ayutthaya period. On founding the new city at Thonburi in 1767, some brick structures of the temple were disassembled and the brick removed for use in the construction of the new city wall. During the reign of King Rama I (1782–1809), the Crown Prince Chim (later King Rama II) attempted to rebuild this abandoned temple, but the construction was not completed because of the war. The work was not undertaken again until 1851 when King Rama IV (1851–1868) donated some money to complete the restoration. He named it "Wat Chaiyaphrueksamala". In the old ordination hall, the principal Buddha image in the Māravijaya attitude is enshrined, and was named Phra Phutthachai Mongkhon (พระพุทธชัยมงคล). A stūpa, built in the reign of King Rama IV, was restored by M.C. Phoem Ladawan in 1935 and was used to house the royal relics of King Rama III (1824–1851) and other royal members as well. The new ordination hall facing the north (Khlong Maha Sawat), it was built in 1973 and completed in 1974. King Rama IX (1946–2016) presided over the opening ceremony on March 30, 1978 and performed the principal Buddha image casting ceremony.The sermon hall is located on the east side of the temple near Khlong Maha Sawat. Built in 1938, it is a Thai-style building made of bricks and cement. It is currently used as part of the music and dance activities of Kusol Suksa School, an elementary school under the patronage of the temple. Wat Chaiyaphrueksamala is a beautiful temple, and the location of the temple was once under the administration of Tambon Maha Sawat, Amphoe Bang Kruai of Nonthaburi Province.

In addition, it was a place where densely grown wodier trees (Oi Chang in Thai) sprouts, hence the name "Bang Oi Chang". At that time, people used the wodier tree bark for elephants. They pounded the bark until soft. The soft bark was then put over the backs of each battle elephant, beneath the howdah. It helped protect the elephant's skin from rubbing directly against the seat.This temple is assumed to have been built in the late Ayutthaya period around 1761 by local people. During the war with Burma in the King Taksin's reign, the temple site was also used as a place to gather troops for war.

Fai Chai, also written as Faichai (Thai: ไฟฉาย, RTGS: Faichai, pronounced [fāj.t͡ɕʰǎːj]), is a four-way intersection in Bangkok located in Ban Chang Lo and Bang Khun Si Subdistricts, Bangkok Noi District, Thonburi side. It is the junction of Charan Sanit Wong, Phran Nok and Phran Nok–Phutthamonthon Sai 4 Roads, can be considered as another main intersection of Thonburi side, besides Tha Phra and Borommaratchachonnani. This junction is also a location of Fai Chai MRT Station. The name is derived from the Asia-Pacific War (a part of World War II) from 1941 to 1945 when Bangkok was attacked by the Allied bombers at night, especially Bangkok Noi, because it was the location of the Imperial Japanese Army base and close to many important places, such as Bangkok Noi railway station, Siriraj Hospital, Naval Dockyard Department and Royal Grand Palace in Phra Nakhon side, etc. The Thai military units tried to establish defense measures the best way possible by installing searchlights in different places. These searchlights had to co-ordinate in looking for the aircraft of the Allied. When the targets were spotted, they would be gunned down by the anti-aircraft artillery. The artillery of such power must have a caliber of seventy-five millimeters in diameter. Hence, the area where once the searchlights were installed has been known as "Fai Chai" (literally means searchlight) since then. It founded in 1941 from the expansion of Pran Nok Road, during that time, it was only a T junction. Later in 2015, there was an extension of Phran Nok–Phutthamonthon 4 Road from Taling Chan District to alleviate traffic problems, thus making it into a four-way intersection in the present.The area of Fai Chai between early 1960s to late 1980s was the location of the Southern Bus Terminal (currently shifting to Taling Chan), market, Nakornloung Shopping Center and namesake movie theater. Including nearby, Soi Charan Sanit Wong 27 or Soi Buppha Sawan was the center of the many popular luk thung (Thai country song) labels. But now these things are not there anymore.Fai Chai tunnel, which is an underpass along Charan Sanit Wong Road direction, took 13 years to complete the construction. The Bt788-million project, which is being carried out by Kamphaeng Phet Wiwat Construction, began in October 2009 during the tenure of Bangkok governor MR Sukhumbhand Paribatra. However, construction progress has been delayed by disputes over its size, design and overlap with the MRT Blue Line’s Bang Sue-Tha Phra phase. The disputes prompted several revisions of the contract. The tunnel was opened for the first day on August 1, 2022 along with an overpass across Na Ranong intersection in Khlong Toei District, where Ratchadaphisek crosses Rama III, Sunthonkosa and Na Ranong Roads. The first phase of activation will only be open from 5am to 10pm as some of the decorations have not been completed.
