Wiang Kum Kam – Wat That Kaow

This Wat also appears to date back to the 16th or 17th century.  It was excavated in 1985 with its restoration being completed in 1986.

The locals referred to this Wat as the white chedi hinting that the chedi may have once been covered with white lime.  A viharn in front of the chedi appears to have been a worship alter.

Behind what was the rite pavilion, parts of a Buddha image were found.  Now there is a more resent Buddha image that was donated by the local people.
