Wat Mai Plai Huai was founded in 1994 when Luang Pu Thongdi Anikho undertook the restoration of the site and developed it into a center for Dhamma practice. He also oversaw the construction of a preaching hall, monks' residences, an ordination hall (Ubosot), a pagoda, and various other buildings.
Highlights of the temple grounds include statues of Luang Pu Thep Lok Udon, Luang Pu To Phrommarangsi, and Luang Pho Luea; the main Buddha statue in the ordination hall; a statue of Phaya Chalawan (the legendary Crocodile King) in a meditative pose; the Pavilion of the Five Kings; and the Suwan Phichit Reliquary Pagoda—situated in the middle of a pond and decorated with white glass mosaic—where Buddha's relics are kept. Other notable sites include the Phuttha Rattana Pagoda, the Sri Phichit Pagoda, the Pillar Court of King Ashoka the Great, and the Luang Pho Tem Vihara (containing a petrified wood Buddha statue over 1,500 years old), as well as the Luang Pho Takhian Kaeo Vihara.
