Wat Pa Wiwek Watthana Ram, or Wat Luang Phu Cham, is located in Ban Huai Sai, Tambon Kam Cha-i. Luang Phu Cham Mahapunyoh was one of the revered teachers known for his dedication to the Buddhist teachings and his steadfast practice of Vipassana meditation. He lived a life guided by the principles of Dhamma and passed away on January 19, 2013, at the age of 104. Within the temple, there is a section dedicated to displaying his biography and core teachings, all set in a serene atmosphere. Additionally, a distinctive feature of the temple is the Phu Chiang Bou Thong Kitti Stupa, characterized by its five-tiered design. It stands on a wide base measuring 13 meters by 13 meters, reaching a height of 45 meters from the ground to the stupa's apex. This stupa showcases applied art and was constructed in 1987 to house the sacred relics of the Buddha and revered Arahants, such as Phra Siwali, Phra Upa Kut, and Phra Ongkuli Malah. Every year, on Makha Bucha and Visakha Bucha days, grand ceremonies are held to perform sacred water rituals, attracting many devotees.
