Worship Phra Phuttha Chetupon Mongkolrak at Wat Chetupon

The staircase is adorned with a single-headed Naga statue. Inside, the principal Buddha image, Phra Phuttha Chetupon Mongkolrak, from the old viharn is enshrined. 🛕 Phra That Chetupon Mongkolratana: Built in 1976, this stupa has a square base and contains 108 rice grain-sized relics, 3 green bean-sized relics, 2 black bean-sized relics, and 84,000 Phra Rod Chetupon amulets. ðŸ™ðŸ― Phra Mai Hom: A fragrant wooden Buddha statue enshrined in the Phra Mai Hom pavilion. ðŸ™ðŸ― Phra Chao Yai Ong Tue: A Buddha image in the Maravijaya posture enshrined in the pavilion. ðŸ™ðŸ― Phra Phuttha Mongkol Suwan: A Buddha image in the Leela posture enshrined in front of the viharn. 🏕 The kuti and Tripitaka hall: Lanna-style architecture. â™Ļïļ Wat Chetupon: 113 Ban San Khong Noi, Ratchayotha Soi 3, Rob Wiang Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Rai District, Chiang Rai Province. ðŸŽŊ Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/1x9LnMYm8XUFT8PH9 🕗 Opening hours: 08:00 – 17:00.
