This temple is about 8 kilometres to the east of
town on Highway No. 1022. A major religious site of the province, it
was built since the time of Sukhothai. The 33 metre-tall Chiang
Saen-style Chedi houses a Holy Relic. It was built of bricks and
covered with bright brass sheets. The name of the temple refers to fine
silk woven in Sip Song Panna (in southern China) which was first used
to wrap around the Chedi when the temple was first constructed. There
is a fair celebrating the Chedi in March every year.
