Wat Sop Long Ban Hong, Ban Hong, Lamphun. Wat Sop Long, under the Maha Nikaya Buddhist sect, is located on a plot of land measuring 5 rai, 3 ngan, and 88 square wah.
 
The temple's boundaries are as follows: to the east, it borders the Li River, and to the south, it meets the Long River, where the two rivers converge. This area is known as "Sob Long," with "Sob" meaning "to meet" or "to converge." This confluence inspired the names of the village and the temple.
 
The temple complex includes several structures, such as a vihara, a multipurpose pavilion, monks’ quarters, an ordination hall, a bell tower, and a chedi. The principal Buddha image is in the Sukhothai artistic style.
 
Wat Sop Long was established in 1941 (B.E. 2484) on the site of an abandoned temple. The original structures had fallen into disrepair over time. Villagers from Sob Long worked together to restore and develop the area, eventually re-establishing it as a temple. It received its royal boundary designation (wisungkhamsima) on July 12, 1988 (B.E. 2531).
 
The temple has been managed and governed by notable abbots, starting with Phra Yongyut Bhaddhako (B.E. 2443–2454), followed by Phra Manop Mantakutto (B.E. 2456–2468), Phra Athikan Chan Chandaramsi (B.E. 2469–2480), Phra Muang Kham Brahmajoto (B.E. 2480–2519), and currently Phra Khru Thawon Thammawat (Khru Ba Boonyuen) since B.E. 2521.
 
Khru Ba Boonyuen is highly revered by Buddhist devotees in Ban Hong District and neighboring provinces for his dedication and contributions to the community.
