🙏It is a temple that is a symbol of Phayao Province. There is Phra That Chom Thong, inside which contains the hair relics and the right arm relic of the Lord Buddha.

🌿According to legend, the Lord Buddha once traveled to spread Buddhism in Phukamyao City and stayed overnight on a mountain located on the northern bank of Nong Eiang, which is Doi Chom Thong. He gave the hair relic to King Ashoka, who buried the hair relic in a well that was more than 70 meters deep and built a pagoda over it. Later, the three monks, Khru Ba Srivichai, Khru Ba Kaew, and Khru Ba Panya, worked together to renovate the pagoda.
