Wat Phoyoi belongs to Maha Nikaya Monk Group.  It is an old temple which was built 200 years ago.  There is some evidence that this temple was found in 1758 in the finale Ayutthaya Kingdom.  It has got the Royal Permission and Land Donation to build the Main Buddhist Chapel in 1767 and has been developed from then on.  There are 25 abbots governing this temple and now the Most Ven. Phrasripariyatithada, Vice Ecclesiastical Province Governor of Buriram, is the abbot.  All six villages have strong leaders which over 200 Buddhists are going to the temple and keep the precepts every Buddhist Monk Day and during the Buddhist Lent.
