Wat Phra That Chom Cho, Buddhist temple in Wiang, Thailand

The temple features a square-based golden chedi alongside two viharns containing sacred Buddhist artifacts and traditional Lanna architectural elements.

Established during the mid-15th century, Wat Phra That Chom Cho houses a sacred Buddha relic believed to be a fragment of the Buddha's skull.

The temple functions as an educational center offering meditation classes in Thai and English, following the Mahasi Sayadaw Vipassana technique.

Located 60 kilometers from Chiang Mai, the temple opens daily from 6 AM to 5 PM with regular bus services from Chang Phuak station.

The main viharn displays an 1817 construction with gilded wood carvings and a mondop structure that reveals the sacred relic during Buddhist festivals.
