The massive chedi was built in 1527 when it must have dominated the area. It has been restored several times over the centuries and is in good condition. The chedi sits on a large square base. Each side of the upper part of the chedi has a niche that contains a Buddha image. The niches are flanked on both sides by thevada figures, a kind of celestial beings. The chedi contains the ashes of several Kings of the Mengrai dynasty, who ruled the Lanna Kingdom from the end of the 13th century until 1558 when the Burmese invaded the Kingdom.
