Wat Phra That Phanom Woramahawihan
According to legend, the first temple structures were built here a few years after the death of the Buddha by five Kings of the Sri Gotupura Kingdom. The chedi is said to be built during the 10th century at a height of around eight meters. At the end of the 17th century the chedi was reconstructed and raised to about 47 meters.
A gold spire of 16 kilos was put on top of the chedi and the Buddhist relics were once again enshrined.
During very heavy rains in August 1975 the Wat Phra That Phanom temple complex was badly damaged but the rebuilt the pagoda in a perfect way.
