Wat Phra Phutthachai is located on the foot of Khao Pathawi, Nong Pla Lai Sub-district, the same entrance as Phra Phutthachai National Park, where Phra Phutthachai or Roi Phra Phuttharup – a shadow of the Buddha is located on the cliff. A mondop – a square building with a crown-like spire – was built to track it. A staircase was besides built to star the mode from the temple to the cliff above the Mondop.
Moreover, there are pre-historic occupation drawings at the foot of the cliff such as the withdrawing similar to deer. Near the entrance to Phra Phutthachai, there are human hands and symbols. From Tham Ruesi to Phra Phutthachai on the western side, there are drawings of chickens, Buddha images and symbols. Also, on the Cho Po Ro cliff, a gigantic and complicated withdrawing was found. It is similar to the pre-historic one at Pha Taem, Ubon Ratchathani. Moreover, there is an ancient withdrawing with latex, aged approximately 3,000 years, symbolising the meaning among the group and plausibly employed as a ceremonial medium or belief of the people in that period of time.
