The monastery was situated on the east bank of the (now defunct) Khlong Pratu Khao Pluak. Wat Chao Kha stood more or less in the middle between Wat Racha Burana and Wat Plabpla Chai on the opposite side of the canal. The Elephant Bridge was in the north and the Pa Than Bridge in the south.
There are no traces anymore visible of the monastery above ground level.
Historical data about the monastery and its construction are unknown.
The site is indicated on Phraya Boran Rachathanin's map drafted in 1926.
