Ang Thong Temple is an important religious site for the local community in Thap Sakae and has long served as a spiritual anchor for residents. It is estimated to have been established during the late Rattanakosin period, approximately in the late 19th or early 20th century (Late 2400s to early 2500s B.E.), serving as a religious hub for settlers who began farming and living in the Thap Sakae area. Since its founding, the temple has continuously served as a moral foundation and a center for cultural activities within the community.
