The temple is situated in a lush
forest of Tambon Non Phueng. The tranquility allows
monks to study and practice Vipassana meditation. In
1954, Luangpu Cha (Phra Phothiyan Thera) founded a
Samnak Song - monastic residence - before it was later
upgraded to be a temple. Attractions in the temple
include the Phra Phothiyan Thera Museum that displays
the eight requisites and wax model of Luangpu Cha,
as well as brassware and Buddha images. It is open
between 8.00 a.m. to 4.30 p.m. The location of the
Si Phothiyan Pagoda is the cremating place of Luangpu
Cha.
