English: This ancient is located in Makham Tao sub-district, Wat Sing district. As there is a very old big tamarind tree in front of the temple, so the temple was named “Makham Tao” (Old Tamarind). It offers pleasant views, and is well-known for amulets displaying an image of “LuangPu Suk”. Although LuangPu Suk, highly renowned for holy virtues, passed away in 1923, his amulets are still among most sought- after items. Today, the monastery becomes a tourist attraction as it houses a cast image of LuangPu Suk and a sculpture of H.R.H. Prince Abhakara Kiartivongse, Prince of Chumphon. In addition, the ubosot features paintings related to the history of Buddhism created in collaboration with his courtiers.
