Wat Si Pho Chai is over 400 years old and is said to have been built around 2090 by a Laotian hunter named "Xiang Pha" (from whom the current name Tambon Saeng Pha is derived), who invited the villagers to settle there and build a temple to serve as the center of the community.

The temple's architecture is influenced by Lan Xang art and the style of Wat Xieng Thong in Luang Prabang, making it uniquely beautiful and hard to find.
