Phra That Sam Duang Temple, Phan District, Chiang Rai Province

Wat Phra That Sam Duang According to legend, this pagoda was built around 1839 B.E. and was later renovated in 1933 B.E. by the disciples of Khru Ba Sin Tham and Khru Ba Chaiya to be used as a place for monks to practice Dhamma. Originally, it was an abandoned temple with the remains of three ancient brick pagodas and many broken and dilapidated laterite Buddha images. From the broken bricks, it is estimated that they are at least 700 years old. Later, the remains of the Buddha images were stolen, leaving only the collapsed pagoda (chedi). According to the National Office of Buddhism, the temple was established on March 13, 2013.
