This ancient Temple has a history of over 300 years, dating back to its construction.

Luang Pu Thuad was a highly revered monk known for his compassion and profound knowledge of scripture, and who served as a former abbot of Wat Chang Hai
Luang Pu Thuat (Thai: หลวงปู่ทวด), also known as Luang Pu Thuad, Luang Por Tuad, Luang Phu Tuad, and various other spellings. Luang Pu Thuat was born in 1582 (2125 BE) and died 1682 (2225 BE) in Ayer Kala, Lenggong, Perak, Malaysia.He is a revered Buddhist monk who lived in Siam. He is said to have performed miracles.Luang Pu Thuat is mentioned in the early regional histories of southern Thailand, but his life is mainly preserved in oral traditions. Stories of the famous monk were passed on by word of mouth for centuries. As a result, it is a mixture of Buddhist elements: early signs, alleged magic, travel, study, meditation and eventual “sainthood.”
His movements throughout the southern Thai peninsula constitute a path of pilgrimage for many of his followers.Luang Pu Thuat has also been said to have saved countless lives of people be it the battlefield, car accidents, armed robbery or more with his sacred amuets.Many people in Thailand, Singapore and Malaysia believe that amulets depicting Luang Pu Thuat hold great protective powers granting safety in times of distress
