The old Wat Rang Kla Dam at the north of Bung Phra Ram
This is a natural lake which can be found at the Centre of the city of the north relates that when King U-Thong founder of the city, sent his men for a survey in the area, they found a hermit worshipping before a fire by the Nong Sano (Sano Lake).

It is thought that when the King had his palace and some temples (such as Wat Maha That and Wat Phra Ram) constructed, builders might have dug up some of the soil from the banks of the Nong Sano to support the constructions. The lake then became wider than its original size and has since come to be known as Bung Phra Ram (or lake of Phra Ram).
