Tanontongchai which extanding southwards to Intanont mountain in Chomtong district, through the western city of Chiangmai

Wat Phrathat Doi Kham was founded on a small mountain -top,about 200 metres high above sea level. on the southwestern side of Chiang mai city, called Phrathat Doi Kham. In the former time, this place was used to be the residential area of a giant Lua-couple, named Jikham and Takheo. Latterly they were called as Pu Sae and Ya Sae, they were Lua-ethnics whose son was
a strict hermit named Sudeva, living behind the Doi Suthep mountain. It’s believed that there was gold in the brook behind the Doi Kham mountain. When Pu Sea and Ya Sae had got hair relic form the Buddha. Many recorded books told
that the God Indra took the hair relic from Ya Sae and dog a crypt on the mountain for burying and then built a small stupa over the site.
Not so long, afterwards a marvellous occurrence happened, it started rainning heavily. The heavy rain lasted for many days. It caused flooding the brook behind the mountain. The gold in the brook flowed down into the cave so that the people called this mountain as Doi Kham which means golden mountain. Thereafter during the year 1230 B/E Prince Mahantayose and Prince Anantayose, son of Haripunchai ruler; Princess Jammadevi’s twin sons, they climbed up and built a bigger stupa covering the original stupa.
