The plan and style of Mahabodhi Hall is similar to that of the Mahabodhi Hall in India. The Bodhi tree is located in the back of the hall, the edifices representing Sattamahasathan are situated in the same directions as those at Bodh Gaya, and the hall has Sikhara tops which a reminiscent of the style from Northern India.

Wat Jed Yod also contains several features from a later period including the chedi of King Tilokarat which was built by King Yod Chiangrai in 1491 and the ordination halle with Ku Kanchan which was built when King Muangkew ordered a renovation of the temple complex.
