It was originally built in 1953 by Luang Pho Uttma with the help of a local immigrant population of Karen and Mon peoples.

It consisted only of a cloister and pavilion, and the villagers generally called it Luang Por Uttama Temple.

It was located on a high hill in the Sam Phrai area, near three rivers, the Songkhaliar, the Beak, and the Rantee.

Therefore, the temple was moved to a hill named Luang Pho Uttama, and 30 square metres (320 sq ft) of land per family was allocated to the villagers.

The upper floor is a museum that houses palm scriptures, ancient Mon scripts, images of the Buddha, ash statues, and various utensils.
