Successfully completed construction of the Buddhist ordination hall (sima) in 2003, marking a crucial development in the establishment of Wat Pa Lao Buddhadham. This sacred structure serves as the central ceremonial space for monk ordinations and important religious rituals, enhancing the temple's ability to fully function as a complete Buddhist monastery. The completion represents seven years of dedicated community effort since the initial land purchase in 1994 and follows the earlier construction of monks' quarters (kuti) in 1996.
