Wat Chedi Sao or 'The Monastery of Twenty Chedis' is famed for its 20 whitewashed chedis, which are a mix of Burmese and Lanna design. The temple also contains a Chiang Saen-style Buddha referred to locally as Phra Chao Than Chai. The image stands only 38cm tall, but weighs a staggering 150kg.<br/><br/>

Lampang was originally founded during the 7th century Dvaravati period. Nothing remains from these early times, but the city is rich in temples, many of which have a distinctly Burmese flavour as Lampang had a substantial Burmese population in the 19th century, most of whom were involved in the logging industry.
