This temple is the centerpiece of a complex. There is also a two story building that has the dormitory, a kitchen and dining area, administrative offices and a religious activity area. Meditation and religious functions are preformed there. There is also a hall which is a multipurpose building used for special functions, holiday celebrations and provides for the Sunday Market.
On Sundays this temple hosts a Thai market where you can purchase homemade thai food prepared in front of you. There are also stalls selling clothes and other items.
The website given below is mostly in Thai, I think, but there is an article in English that will give you some more information.
