Wat Phrathat Chom Chan (วัดพระธาตุจอมจันทร�) is located in Tambon<br />
San Sai. The temple was constructed by Khruba Thip in 1915. One<br />
night in a dream, he saw a beam <strong>of</strong> light rising toward the sky and<br />
green lights glittering over a hill for a while. Next morning, he went<br />
to explore the hill and found that it was a good place with a<br />
surrounding ditch and no parts <strong>of</strong> it connecting to any other hills<br />
around the area. Thus, he invited the villagers to jointly build a chedi<br />
(pagoda). In 1925, monk’s cells, a Wihan (image hall), and a Sala<br />
(pavilion) were constructed, and the temple was named Wat<br />
Phrathat Chom Chan. The temple had dwelling monks until 1937<br />
when a forest fire burned down the pavilion and monk’s cells,<br />
leaving only the image hall and the chedi. Therefore, the faithful<br />
villagers built a new temple on the lower ground, 300 m away from<br />
the old site. Since then the temple was deserted until 1999, when it<br />
has been renovated. For further details, contact Tel: 0 5377 2129.<br />

Mai allowed his daughter to marry King Phothisan <strong>of</strong><br />
Sisattanakhanahut (Lao PDR.), but she had no son. So, she went to<br />
ask for a son from Phrachao Thongthip, a Buddha image. Later, she<br />
gave the king a son who was named Prince Chaiyachetthathirat.<br />
When the prince was 12 years old, the King <strong>of</strong> <strong>Chiang</strong> Mai, his<br />
grandfather, died without an heir to the throne. The noblemen<br />
asked for the prince to reign <strong>Chiang</strong> Mai. King Phothisan agreed and<br />
let the prince bring along with him the Buddha image. The prince<br />
cruised along the Mekong, Kok, and Lao Rivers. When the boat<br />
arrived at the present location <strong>of</strong> the temple, it got stranded and<br />
was unable to continue the trip. Therefore, the image was moved<br />
ashore and left there. King Chaiyachettha ruled <strong>Chiang</strong> Mai for<br />
two years when his father died. Hence, he went back to Luang<br />
Prabang and brought with him important Buddha images <strong>of</strong><br />
<strong>Chiang</strong> Mai; such as, Phra Kaeo Morakot, Phra Phutthasihing,<br />
Phra Setangkhamani or Phra Kaeo Khao, and many others. However,<br />
all the images were later returned to <strong>Thailand</strong>. Phrachao Thongthip<br />
was left in the forest for centuries. This 120 cm high image in the<br />
posture <strong>of</strong> subduing Mara has a lap width <strong>of</strong> 80 cm and is famous<br />
for its sacredness that someone who wishes to have a child can pray<br />
here.<br />
