Wat Chong Suea (Wat Uthayram)

Wat Chong Sung (Wat Uthayaram), Mae Hong Son Province This temple has its own unique architectural identity in Mae Sariang District, which stands out from the 3 Mon-style pagodas that are over 100 years old. 1. The pagoda on the west side is an old Mon-style pagoda, Burmese and Shan art, over 100 years old, built at the beginning of the reign of King Rama VI. 2. The Phra Borommathat pagoda is located in the middle. There is no evidence indicating when it was built. It was originally an old and dilapidated pagoda, with only half of it remaining. Inside is a golden turtle-shaped urn containing the relics of the Lord Buddha. 3. The pagoda on the east side is a seven-spire pagoda, originally the location of a Shan temple. Inside are 9 brick Buddha images. Later, in 1888, a fire destroyed the entire temple, leaving only the Buddha images. Therefore, a pagoda was built to cover all 9 Buddha statues. 📍 Mae Sariang Subdistrict, Mae Sariang District, Mae Hong Son #Travelwithtrip2024 #WatChongSung #MaeSariang
