As of 2025 and 2026, the abbot was Preah Dhammanurakkhanana Sum Pisith, who is also samuh gana, a senior officer of the monastic order in Siem Reap province.[1][3] In May 2025 the Wat ordained 24 boys and young men as novices, to study and to carry on the monastic community.[1] On June 1, 2025, the abbot and donors gave rice and other food to 50 poor families in Puok district.[4]

In October 2025, after Vassa, the rains retreat, the Wat's achar (lay ritual leaders), committee and lay followers from the province and beyond held its Kathina robe offering, which raised 10 million riel for the monks and novices and for new buildings.[5] On April 19, 2026, at Cambodian New Year, the Wat held a bon phka prak (បុណ្យផ្កាប្រាក់, a festival of money trees, offered to raise funds) to build its entrance gate, together with srang preah, the bathing of Buddha images and monks with scented water.[3]
