Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong, Buddhist temple on Doi Chom Thong mountain in Rop Wiang, Thailand.
The temple complex features a 14-meter-tall central chedi decorated with gold foil, combining Bhu-kam and Lanna architectural elements throughout its structure.
According to the Yonok Chronicle, the temple's chedi was constructed in 940 to house Buddha's relics, which Prince Pangkaraj of Yonok Nakpan distributed among three temples.
The temple grounds contain 108 city pillars dedicated to King Mengrai, with the main pillars measuring five feet thick to match the king's recorded height.
Located off Th Kraisorasit in Chiang Rai, the temple welcomes visitors who must wear appropriate clothing and can combine their visit with nearby cultural attractions.
In 1992, the City Pillar's relocation from Wat Klang Wiang to this temple established it as Sadue Muang, marking the official center point of Chiang Rai.
