Wat Tham Pha Pu perfectly combines spiritual devotion with natural beauty. The main feature is a large cave on the hill, housing multiple Buddha statues and sacred objects. Visitors can worship, make merit, and practice meditation in a peaceful environment.

Inside the cave, there are significant Buddha images, including the Mara Victory posture and smaller golden Buddha statues. Murals and other sacred artifacts are also displayed, believed by locals to protect visitors and bring good fortune.

The surrounding area offers beautiful natural scenery with walking paths up the hill and several viewpoints. Visitors can enjoy panoramic views of mountains, rivers, and fields, making it ideal for relaxation, sightseeing, and learning about nature alongside spiritual activities.

Wat Tham Pha Pu is also a place for religious ceremonies and community traditions, such as almsgiving on Buddhist days, group chanting, major Buddha rituals, and local festival activities, reflecting the lifestyle and beliefs of Chiang Khan residents.

Visitors can also learn about the temple’s history and local legends of "Pha Pu," considered a sacred place of ancestors and a source of spiritual energy that calms the mind.
