Wat Phra That Chom Cho, Chiang Rai Province

Phra That Chom Cho, Chiang Rai It is a sacred pagoda that has been in the city of Thoeng since ancient times. The history of Phra That Chom Cho from an old scripture that was established by a scholar who is an expert in Pali language in Mueang Thoeng District (Mueang Thoeng) at that time said that when the Lord Buddha came to Suvarnabhumi, he stayed under an ashoka tree on a mountain near the Ing River. A Naga knew that the Lord Buddha had come, so he went to pay respect to the Lord Buddha, asked various questions, and then brought 3 Jo Kham and 3 Jo Kaew to offer to the Lord Buddha. Phra Anan then asked to give the relic to that Naga. The Lord Buddha rubbed his head and found a strand of hair, so he gave it to the Naga. The Naga informed the city lord to build a pagoda in the middle of the mountain to enshrine the hair relic. Later, the pagoda was named Phra That Chom Cho In worshiping Phra That Doi Chom Cho, Cho means speaking well, speaking well. If you can worship, you will be successful in everything, just like starting a negotiation will lead to success and all wishes will be fulfilled. 📍 Tambon Wiang, Amphoe Thoeng, Chiang Rai Province #tripfreeaccommodation #WatPhraThatChomCho #travelchiangrai
