Three kilometers from Phra That Cho Hae lies Wat Phra That Chom Chaeng. It was formerly called Phra That Chuan Chaeng (meaning almost dawn in Thai), for it is believed that Lord Buddha graced the site in ancient times. The main structure called Phra That, measuring 10 metres wide and 29 metres high, contains the sacred relic of the Lord Buddha’s hair. An annual worshipping ceremony takes place from the 11th-15th of the waxing moon in the fifth lunar month. In 1357 King Lithai of the Sukhothai Dynasty renovated the temple’s main structure, ordination hall and naga staircase. Another major effort to restore this temple to its former glory was carried out in 1908, led by the former provincial head monk, Phra Kru Buddha Wongsajarn (Thongkham). The many objects of significance in the temple include the white umbrella of state, painting of Buddhist history, a sermon hall, a bell tower, sculptures depicting a vision of heaven and hell and various animal figurines. The provincial museum, located within the temple premises, also houses many rare objects and local aniquities.
