The first word – wat- is the Thai word for temple. Phra that, means Buddha relic. The third word, Lampang, is the name of the location in Thailand. The fourth word, luang, means great. Altogether, a loose translation, “Temple of Lampang’s Great Buddha Relic”. The fame of the temple, and its preservation throughout the centuries is mainly due to the belief that Buddha once visited here about 2,500 years ago and donated a lock of his hair, which is now enshrined in the temple’s chedi.

According to legend, the Buddha once visited the site some 2,500 years ago and donated a hair, which is now kept in the temple’s large chedi together with the right forehead and neck bones.
It is also the temple of those who were born in the Ox year because the construction of the temple is held to have begun and finished in years of the Ox.
