This name means "monk's residence", which has a particularly interesting context of this historical site. Because the temple is far away from the main building of the temple. The section may be a Kuti or monk's residence. It is large and spacious. And, the name appears in the stone inscription as well. But in the royal work of King Rama VI is said that the villagers in this area call this temple in the local dialect that "Sanggawad”

One side of the temple is close to the levee and the ancient canal calling in present-day as "Phra Ruang road" which goes straight out of Sukhothai to the ancient city Si Satchanalai. The part which passed Wat Sangkawas could clearly see the levee along with the rice fields of the villagers. The main building of the temple, which is surrounded by the moat, has decoration like the facade for enshrining Buddha images surrounded. The Pagoda's front on the east side has the big Viharn which enshrines the large stucco Buddha image. Nowadays, only the body remains. The head and the hands disappear, but the old photograph taking by King Rama VI still has the head of the stucco Buddha image. Away from the main building on the south, there is the chapel, which is located on the hillside of Phra Ruang Road, and it remains only the base and pillars. The interesting thing is the line of embroidering the Bai Sema. Normally, the others temples have only one line, but this temple has three lines and three layers. Each line has several Bai Sema, each line has 2 - 3 pieces. There are several patterns and shapes; nevertheless; some of them have already been broken. No one knows why there are the three layers of Bai Sema, but locals believed that they tried to expand the chapel area to be more spacious.
