Visit Phra That Pha Ngao in Chiang Rai

Wat Phra That Pha Ngao is located in Chiang Saen district. It is an important ancient temple in Chiang Rai province, featuring the beautiful Phra That Pha Ngao. 'Pha Ngao' refers to the shadow of a large rock or stone that resembles a tall pagoda and provides excellent shade. Locals thus call it Phra That Pha Ngao. It is believed that this stupa was built between 494-512 AD by Khun Pha Phing, the 23rd ruler of Yonok city.
