This is an ancient site. Historical records indicate that the Wat is the oldest in Suphan Buri province, with an age of more than a thousand year.
There is a large Buddha image, 23.48 m. tall, in the style of Pa Leyyaka, built with bricks and cement. The artwork is of the U Thong period and there is a path that has been used for making repairs to the Buddha image throughout its history. The local people call the image “Luang Pho To Wat Pa” or “Large Honourable Father of the Forest Monastery.” It is a sacred image, and the people of Suphan Buri come and pay their respects to it at least once in their lives, as an act of good fortune.
