Religious life

In 2025 the Wat was one of several in Cần Thơ that spent more than 500 million đồng on a new dugout ngo, carved from a single trunk, in place of a plank-built boat.[3] At the city's boat races that November, its men's crew reached the final among 53 men's crews and finished second to Tum Núp 2.[2][4] On November 15, 2025, the management board held a celebration for the crew at the Wat, attended by Hòa thượng (Most Venerable) Tăng Nô, head of the patriotic monks' association of Cần Thơ.[2] On October 2, 2026, city leaders visited the monks, the management board and the lay followers of the Wat for Sen Dolta (សែនដូនតា), the festival for ancestors.[5]
