Wat Phra That Chom Kitti (unknown age)
Wat Phra That Chom Kitti sits on the top of hill alongside Wat Chom Chaeng, which is of more recent vintage. The most notable structure of Wat Phra That Chom Kitti is its crooked chedi, which contains a fragment of the Buddha relic that was split into three and divided amongst this site, Wat Phra That Doi Chom Tong in Chiang Rai, and Wat Phra That Doi Tung in Chiang Saen.
