Wat Phra Phutthabat Huai Tom
Wat Phra Phutthabat Huai Tom was announced as a temple in 1990 and received the royal charter of the boundary of the temple in 1991. The history of Wat Phra Phutthabat Huai Tom, compiled by Nantawan, mentions that during the time of the Lord Buddha, the temple had a chedi in the style of a mixture of Lanna and Burmese art. It was a pointed shape surrounded by 16 smaller chedis. Inside the pavilion around the chedi, there were statues of more than 30 famous monks of the country. The Lord Buddha traveled to teach creatures in various places. The Lord Buddha arrived at a palm grove and sat on the top of a mountain called Doi Nang Phi. He gave a strand of his hair to the Lawa who were staying there and enshrined it in the chedi. Later, it was called Doi Nang Non Chom Chaeng. Later, Phaya Muang Thein, a hermit, and 8 hunters carrying fresh meat came across this place. When they had nothing to offer, the Lord Buddha had not eaten it yet. The hunters therefore piled up the meat, and the Lawa in the area went to boil rice to offer it. Somdej Phra Chom Trai therefore accepted it and gave blessings to the Lawa people. The Buddha then left his footprints and said, "If anyone practices as the Buddha taught, it would be like being close. If they don't practice, it would be like being far away." He gave it the name Huai Tom Khao, which later became distorted to Huai Tom, which is the origin of the current name of Wat Phra Phutthabat Huai Tom. #Wat Phra Phutthabat Huai Tom
