The temple was given the name ‘Pha Sorn Kaew’ as it is derived from hearsay of the residents. Literally means ‘the cliff where the sacred stone is hidden’ local residents here believe that the sacred Buddha relic has descended down and disappeared in the cave in front of the mountain top, so they built up the temple to enshrine the Buddha relic.
