It was founded in 2004 as a Dharmma practice center. Formerly, it was called "Phra Thad Pha Son Kaew Dhamma Center". This Dhamma practice center is located amidst the nature with peaceful atmosphere surrounded by high mountains. On the hilltop, there is a cave where many of the Thang Daeng villagers used to see a flying marble in the sky that flies to this cave. The villagers believed it to be the Buddha's spirit. They believed this place is auspicious and sacred and called it "Pha Son Kaew".
There are buildings and rooms for Dhamma lecture and also accommodations for Dhamma practitioner. This temple also offers Dhamma courses. People who are interested in joining can register via www.phasornkaew.org.
Apart from serving as a Dhamma practice center, it is also one of the most interesting tourist attractions in the province.
The temple is small but the styling is unlike any other temple you will see in Thailand. The surrounding countryside also is worth seeing for nature lovers. It’s one of 29 first class royal temples in Thailand making it one of the most important for Buddhists in the country.
