Wat Si Umong Kham
วัดศรีอุโมงค์คำ
An old temple beside the lakeside promenade, enshrining the golden bronze image 'Phra Chao Lan Thong', held in reverence by Phayao people, with a strong Lanna character.
Wat Si Umong Kham sits on the eastern shore of Phayao Lake, on Tha Kwan Road, just steps from the lakeside walkway. The principal image in the main hall is Phra Chao Lan Thong, an ancient gold-bronze alloy Buddha image. Along with the great Buddha at Wat Si Khom Kham, it is an important object of devotion in Phayao. The shrine hall is a typical Lanna timber building with layered eaves and finely crafted gold decoration. You can step inside while strolling by the lake, and admission is free.
