The first floor serves as a recreational area and a souvenir shop, while the second floor is the main hall. The third floor is for monk residence, and the fourth floor is an ordination hall. Behind the temple lies a limestone hill with 7-8 caves, some for Buddhist meditation practices and others for monk meditation. Some caves feature naturally formed stalactites and stalagmites. Atop the hill is a wide plateau covered with rubber trees, Makha, and Thai Bungor. Moreover, the temple grounds boast a large reservoir and a unique wooden bridge spanning the reservoir, unlike conventional bridges. It’s constructed from natural wood without any artificial modifications, giving it a distinctive appearance. From this vantage point, one can admire the beauty of the teakwood temple structure.
