At the end of the reign of the late King Mongkut (Rama IV) reign, in the period of Tak Bai territory, in Kelantan state, Phra Kru Opas Phra Phutthakhun (Phut) was the founder of this temple and had to ask for land to build a temple. Praya Lantan inside the chapel has murals that were painted very beautifully by the monks from Songkhla. Chonlathara Singhe Temple is also a temple of national historical significance as it is an ancient site that the Thai government put forth as a reference in the protection of the borders in 1898 that prevented this part from being annexed into the territory of Malaysia, hence the nickname "Wat Phithak Din Thai".

The highlight of nature tourism is a rich swamp forest with rare wildlife to study.
