ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
This small temple outside the old city in Chiang Mai is almost unknown to tourists, but it is important for believers. Built 300 years ago by a woman who arrived from the city of Chiang Saen in the province of Chiang Rai on the border with Laos. It houses an important Buddha statue with a height of 29 inches and a weight of 900 kilograms, made of natural emerald (jadeite) of very high quality. It is believed that it was made in the town of Pha Kane in the northern region of Burma and was auctioned in Mandalay. It is the largest Burmese jadeite in Thailand. But the history of the temple begins from even earlier times. Even before its construction more than 300 years ago, the remains of a small pagoda were discovered here, which was placed inside the newly built pagoda.
