Wat Ngam Muang or Wat Doi Ngam Muang

.. is a temple of historical importance in Chiang Rai Province. It was originally named Wat Ngam Muang. It is an ancient temple with no record of its construction. It is located on Doi Ngam Muang.

.. In 1993, Wat Ngam Muang was renamed Wat Ngam Muang or Wat Doi Ngam Muang until today.

.. The history that the temple claims is that Phraya Chaisongkhram was the one who built the temple and enshrined Phraya Mangrai's ashes.

.. The pagoda of Wat Doi Ngam Muang is believed to be Phraya Mangrai's shrine. It has a laterite base (a later restoration, not built at the same time as the pagoda). It is in the shape of a castle with a 3-tiered square base, followed by a 1-tiered 2-tiered recessed base. Above it is the chedi chamber decorated with two high lotus buddha breast lines. In the middle of each side is a niche for enshrining a Buddha image. Next up is a set of two single lotus buddha breast lines in an octagonal plan, and then a round bell-shaped body. The reliquary is made of brick and has four niches. Inside is a Buddha statue.
