Wat Phra That Chon Chaeng, Buddhist temple in Mae Suai, Thailand

The temple complex features a golden chedi measuring 29 meters in height and 10 meters in width at its center, with a standing Buddha statue positioned in front.

The temple's origins trace back to 788 AD when it was initially constructed under the name Wat Phra Tat Chuang Chaeng, maintaining its religious function through centuries.

The temple contains sacred relics of Buddha's hair within its central chedi, making it an important destination for Buddhist practitioners and religious ceremonies.

Visitors can access the temple through two entrances, with one leading directly to the temple structure and another featuring traditional Naga stairs for ceremonial purposes.

The complex includes both a new construction hall and an older brick chedi, demonstrating the continuous development and preservation of religious architecture through different periods.
