Pay homage to the Phra Borommathat Chedi Doi Ku Kaew

🛕 Wat Phra That Doi Ku Kaew is a temple and ancient site believed to have been built during the Yonok Chiang Saen Kingdom to enshrine sacred relics, including the Buddha's hair relic and the right ankle bone relic. 🏞 From the road leading up to the temple, you can see the entire Wiang Nong Lom wetland area. 🙏🏽 According to the Yonok Chronicles, this temple was originally called Wat Ku Kaew, which is believed to have derived from the term "Koo Kaew" (meaning "Twin Gems"). Legend has it that the sacred relics were enshrined here twice, and the locals referred to the relics as "Kaew" (gems), hence the name "Koo Kaew," symbolizing two sacred relics. 🛕 Another interpretation is that "Ku" means "Chedi" (stupa) in the Lanna language, so "Ku Kaew" could also mean a stupa enshrining sacred relics. 🙏🏽 Besides the Phra Borommathat Chedi Doi Ku Kaew, there are many other sacred objects to pay respects to within the temple. 🏡 Wat Phra That Doi Ku Kaew: Ban Pa Sak Luang, Chan Chwa Tai Subdistrict, Mae Chan District, Chiang Rai Province. ⛳ Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/PwSe9TPF9WpjHQwA6 🕕 Opening hours: 06:00 AM - 05:00 PM.
