Wat Chedi Hoi are popular & unique with large number of gigantic fossils oyster shells, which are aged millions of years. They were used to build the chedi at the entrance of and in the temple. The shells are called 'Hoi' in Thai language and that is how the monastery got its temple name. Furthermore, the the temple has a Museum for collection of Buddha images, artwork, antiques, and many old utensils such as Sam Khok water jars, pottery and engraved wood.

Then, the excavation continued for another 12 years uncovering more and more shells, some of them are a foot long. These shells are in various shapes and colors and LP Thong Kleang did not know what to do with the shells so he used them to build a chedi that sits right in front of the temple. Even after this, a sizeable amount of oyster shells were remaining so that abbot went one step further and built another chedi inside the temple.
