It stands prominently on a hill. Under the hill is a sacred cave that the villagers worship. In the past, it was just a small temple in the village. Later, when "Kruba Chao Theung Nathasilo" came to stay at Wat Ban Den, because Kruba Chao Theung was a monk with good conduct, he was revered by many disciples. As a result, the donations were very large. And with faith in Buddhism, Kruba Chao Theung did not want to keep the donations. In addition, he intended to create a tangible memorial of merit. This was the origin of the renovation of the temple in 1991. Kruba Chao Theung intended to make the temple a beautiful religious place that relied on the mind, with moral principles. It was a trick to attract people to the temple to refine their minds. Let it be a place for mental relaxation more than religious ceremonies.

The architecture of the temple is a blend of Lanna Thai architecture, which is a combination of the concept of Khru Ba Chao Thueng, that is, think of wearing anything and doing anything, but it must be stable. It is a combination of a village temple and a forest temple because it is believed that religion survives through practice. Therefore, division is not important. The principle of building according to merit is firmly established. And by building according to merit, the temple is exquisitely beautiful, spectacular, and grand, in line with the faith of Buddhists. This is well conveyed through various structures. It is a temple that tourists have praised as the number 1 temple in Chiang Mai Province.
