Situated at Tambon Le, some 14 kms. from Amphoe Ka Pong, the monastery is where the sculptures of Narayana, Laksaman, and Sita, all related to the historical background of "Takola" (former name of Ta Kua Pa), are enshrined. They also attest to the spread of Indian culture to this region.

The original Rama and Lakshamana images are now exhibited at the Thalang National Museum, Amphoe Thalang, Phuket. In addition, an inscription stone of 1,300-1,400 years old was unearthed on top of Khao Riang inside the temple’s precincts.

Getting there: Take the district line 401 of kapong to surat thani, about 10 kilometers. Then you will see bridge across the canal and go straight for about 300 meters you will see signs for entrance.
