Wat Nikhom Rat Rangsan is located at No. 1 Ban Wang Maduea, Village No. 10, Ao Noi Subdistrict, Mueang District, Prachuap Khiri Khan Province. This Mahayana Buddhist temple covers an expansive 105 rai (about 41 acres). Founded on July 19, 1963, the temple received its official consecrated boundary (wisungkhamsima) in 1967, and its current abbot, Phra Khru Sutthakunathorn, oversees its administration and religious activities.
 
The temple is well-known among local residents and visitors alike for its 326-step staircase, which leads to the summit of Nikhom Hill. At the peak, an exquisite Buddha statue is enshrined, drawing both locals and tourists who come to pay their respects and take in the breathtaking natural scenery. From this elevated vantage point, visitors can gaze out over the panoramic views of KM 5 Subdistrict Municipality and the town of Prachuap Khiri Khan, where the quiet ambiance and stunning scenery make it a perfect destination for peaceful reflection.
 
Located within KM 5 Subdistrict Municipality, Wat Nikhom Rat Rangsan is just a 5-kilometer journey west of Phetkasem Road and around 17 kilometers from the city center of Prachuap Khiri Khan. The temple is easy to access by private car or public transportation. Upon arrival, visitors are greeted by a serene environment and natural beauty, with a pathway that leads to the summit of Nikhom Hill. Climbing the steps is a unique experience, allowing visitors to not only enjoy the religious and spiritual atmosphere but also take in the rare and beautiful views from this elevated spot.
 
This temple serves as the central religious site for residents of Ao Noi Subdistrict and surrounding areas. Especially during important Buddhist festivals such as Visakha Bucha and Buddhist Lent (Khao Phansa), locals gather here to make merit, chant prayers, and participate in various religious activities. Wat Nikhom Rat Rangsan is not only a place for worship but also a community center where people gather to foster unity and share in social activities.
 
Wat Nikhom Rat Rangsan is more than a typical temple; it is a place of historical and cultural significance for the people of Prachuap Khiri Khan. It offers not only a spiritual retreat but also a rare opportunity to appreciate the spectacular views from the summit of Nikhom Hill, with a unique blend of natural and community elements awaiting all who visit.
