He brought some of villagers and Khun Paiboon to survey the mountain. They are all agree that this area should be an archeological area that was used to be a kiln because the soil color looks different from natural with red clay fragments similar to Terracotta emerges from the soil.

Formally villagers believed that this is sacred areas and they have traditional day in Ghost every year . They believe that cave in Doi Wiang has treasures. Villagers could borrow some items for using in various ceremonies, but must be returned. Later, some people borrowed the goods and not returned. The spirit that preserves the cave closed the cave. No one can see the treasure in the cave again. However they believed that the cave will be opened again by the merit person ,according to such beliefs, the community held a sacrificial ceremony .After the survey of Doi Wiang Doi Wong archaeological site, Doi Wiang area was bought and occupied by the private sector. The villagers could not do sacrificial ceremony. The villagers therefore solved the problem by arranging a small sacrificial ceremony on the way to Doi Wiang instead because they afraid that disasters will come as their believe , if they do not do the ceremony. They also built an Instant Buddha image at Doi Wong archaeological site to be worship .
