One night, he had a vision of two beautiful castles on the Phu Tok Noi side. Phra Ajahn Juan Kulchettho therefore traveled to verify the vision and found the beautiful and shady terrain suitable for practicing meditation.

Later, the villagers of Kham Kaen saw Phra Ajahn Juan Thudongph staying at Phu Tok, so they unanimously asked him to build a temple at Phu Tok.
