Wat Phra That Doi Kham, Buddhist temple on Doi Kham Mountain in Suthep, Thailand

The temple complex features multiple structures with a golden chedi at its center, positioned 200 meters above sea level in Mae Hia sub-district.

Founded in 1230 AD by princes Chao Manthiyoth and Chao Ananthayoth, sons of Queen Chamthewi, the first ruler of the Haripunjaya Kingdom.

The temple holds significant Buddhist relics, including Phra Rod Luang, a gilded sandstone Buddha statue, and Phra Samhor, discovered by local residents in 1966.

Located at 108 Chiang Mai-Hang Dong Road, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM with parking facilities available near the entrance.

According to local tales, two giants named Jita and Ta Khiao received Buddha's hair relic from celestial beings and buried it beneath the temple's stupa.
