If you go further along the trail after visiting the temple Wat Long Khun and sakkalin cave another 800 meters, the trail will end at Wat Had Siaw temple (aka Wat Hadsiao). It is a small temple and monastery that is very rarely visited by tourists. It does not shine with architecture, beauty and cleanliness, but there are several old buildings and ubosot (storage room for the main shrine), decorated with ancient-looking frescoes. The monastery is constantly inhabited by several monks, always ready to communicate, but do not expect them to know foreign languages, you will have to communicate with gestures.
In general, it is not necessary to visit Wat Had Siaw, but if you want to see non-tourist places, you can reach it during a walk through Ban Xieng Maen village.
