Chiang Saen - Wat Phra That Chom Kitti

 
The 10th c. Wat Phra That Chom Kitti, with its round chedi, stands on a hill outside Chiang Saen with a good view over the town and the border country of the golden triangle. The spire of the crooked chedi is covered in bronze, and also has a Buddha relief. Extremely well preserved Lopburi-style Buddhas can be seen in the niches on each side.

A broad flight of 393 steps leads down to the town from Wat Chom Chang's smaller brick chedi opposite.
