Wat Phra That Chom Thong is located in Ban Tom Subdistrict, Mueang Phayao District, Phayao Province. It is considered a sacred place of the city and an important temple that enshrines Phra That Chom Thong. Inside, there are hair relics and the right arm relic of the Lord Buddha. However, there is no evidence of when this relic was built, but it has been renovated many times. Phra That Chom Thong is a bright golden color and is located on Doi Chom Thong. It is a Lanna-style pagoda 30 meters high, on a square base, 9 meters wide, stacked in three layers. The top is a golden umbrella. The base is covered with metal sheets embossed with the 12 zodiac animals and Thai patterns. Across from the temple is a garden by the river. We went there and it was under construction. It is not finished yet, but we could walk to see the view. It is very beautiful. It is like a pavilion by the river. It is white. In the evening, you can walk and exercise. The area is very spacious.

The story of Phra That Chom Thong is told that during the time of the Buddha, the Buddha had traveled to spread Buddhism in Phukamyao and stayed overnight on a mountain located on the northern bank of Nong Eiang, which is Doi Chom Thong, where Phra That Chom Thong is located. He gave the hair relic to King Ashoka, but King Ashoka gave it to a goldsmith who had offered food to the Lord Buddha. The goldsmith buried the hair relic in a pond more than 70 meters deep and built a pagoda to hide it. Later, the three monks, Khru Ba Sriwichai, Khru Ba Kaew, and Khru Ba Panya, worked together to restore the pagoda, which has remained until today. #Phayao
