Bueng Wat Phet serves not only as a water reservoir for local agricultural use but also as a center for community-based and creative activities. One of its key roles is supporting projects aimed at increasing aquatic resources in natural water bodies. Various fish species, such as Java barb and silver barb, are regularly released into the pond to provide a sustainable protein source for the community and to help maintain ecological balance within the pond.

Beyond its natural significance, Wat Phet, which stands beside the pond, is notable for its historical value. In 1995, during the construction of a sermon hall, an ancient bronze bell was discovered buried more than 1.5 meters underground. This important archaeological find serves as strong evidence of the temple’s antiquity and reflects the long-standing religious devotion of people in this area.

Wat Phet is also well known among amulet collectors for the discovery of “Wat Phet amulets,” particularly the Pa Lelai Buddha amulets cast in silver-based alloy. These artifacts are valued for both their spiritual significance and historical importance, representing the temple’s former prominence.

The surroundings of Bueng Wat Phet offer a peaceful and shady atmosphere, making it an ideal place for relaxation, enjoying waterside scenery, or observing the daily lives of local residents who use the pond for various activities. Visitors can also enter Wat Phet to pay respect to the principal Buddha image inside the ordination hall for good fortune, while experiencing the simple and tranquil rural lifestyle of Sao Hai District.
