Wat Phra That Sri Chom Tong

Wat Phra That Sri Chom Tong is the Burmese-style chedi, built in 1451 and said to contain a relic of the Buddha. The cruciform wiharn was built around 1550 in the reign of King Muang Keo, and has beautiful gilded wood carving along the gables, eaves and portals, as well as on the teak columns and beams in the interior, making it an outstanding work of art. Inside there is also a Burmese-style altar, its rich decoration including two ornately worked elephant tusks, and a number of Buddha figures. The seated bronze Buddha is the object of particular veneration.
Wat Phra That Sri Chom Thong is situated 58 kilometers from the town in Chom Thong District.
