Phra Nang Din Temple, Chiang Kham District

🛕Wat Phra Nang Din is an old temple that has been with the villagers in Chiang Kham District and nearby areas for a long time. It is located in Ban Phra Nang Din, Village No. 7, Wiang Subdistrict, Chiang Kham District, Phayao Province. The highlight of Wat Phra Nang Din is that it is a temple where the principal Buddha image of the temple does not have a pedestal (pedestal) to support it like the principal Buddha image in other temples. There is a legend told by the elders that there used to be villagers who built a pedestal and invited the Phra Nang Din to sit on it, but a miraculous event occurred when lightning struck the middle of the temple three times. The villagers then invited the Phra Chao Nang Din to be enshrined on the ground as before and have been calling it “Phra Nang Din” to this day. Currently, the Phra Nang Din is still enshrined in the temple on the floor of the temple with a glass cover. 🌳The area inside is spacious and shady with large trees. The most prominent one is probably the large crabapple tree that spreads its branches to provide shade and help relieve some of the heat. Near the temple is a beautifully decorated Lanna-style pagoda decorated with striking gold. 🚗Directions: Take Highway 1148 south, 4 kilometers from Chiang Kham District.
