Guarding the entrance gate is a pair of white and gold Chinthe, mythological lion like creatures often found in Burmese temples.
According to local belief paying homage at the temple can end people’s suffering. Local legend tells centuries ago there was a man who fell seriously ill. He prayed to a Buddha image named Phra Chao Dab Pai asking for his recovery. When he recovered he built the Wat Dubphai and named it after the image.
