A temple where the principal Buddha statue does not have a base to support it.

🏡 Wat Phra Nang Din is an ancient temple located in Chiang Kham District, Phayao Province. The unique feature of this temple is that its principal Buddha statue does not have a base to support it, unlike other temples. There is a legend that in the past, villagers built a base for the statue and enshrined the principal Buddha on it. However, the next morning, something strange happened—the Buddha statue descended to the ground as before. Despite villagers attempting to place it back on the base three times, the statue returned to the ground each time. Eventually, the villagers decided to leave it on the ground and called it "Phra Nang Din" (Buddha Sitting on the Ground), a name that has persisted to this day. 🙏 Currently, Phra Nang Din remains enshrined on the floor of the temple hall, protected by a layer of transparent glass. 🙏 It is believed that this Buddha statue was created during the time of the Lord Buddha over 2,500 years ago. The construction took 1 month and 7 days to complete. Key attractions within the temple include: 🏠 The temple hall: Featuring Lanna-style architecture, it houses the Phra Nang Din statue. 🛕 The golden octagonal pagoda: Adorned with colorful glass decorations, it contains a replica of Phra Nang Din made of brass in each of its eight niches.

Inside the pagoda, relics of the Buddha are enshrined. ♨️ Wat Phra Nang Din: Located in Ban Phra Nang Din, Village No. 7, Wiang Subdistrict, Chiang Kham District, Phayao Province. 🎯 Location: https://maps.app.goo.gl/gW2Cp6xS391hLKar8 🕖 Opening hours: 07:00 AM – 06:00 PM.
