The temple is located in Tha Sai Luat Subdistrict. This Mahayana Buddhist temple of the Thai Yai ethnic group, influenced by the Republic of the Union of Myanmar, was founded in 1857 by a Shan statesman named Mung. Later, he was bestowed the noble title “Muen Atkhamhaenghan” by royal decree. In 1957, the Ministry of Education declared it a Buddhist temple under the Department of Religious Affairs. The principle Buddha image “Phra Phutthamahamuni” is a replica of the much revered Phra Phutthamahamuni Buddha image in Mandalay, the Republic of the Union of Myanmar.
