Wat Chong Klang

Next to Wat Chong Kham is Wat Chong Klang where a replica of the Phra Phuttha Sihing is installed on an altar. There are several interesting items such as wooden figurines of human and animals depicted in the Phra Vejsandon Jakata (pronounced Cha-dok which means one of odd stories of former incarnations of the Buddha) created by Burmese craftsmen and brought over in 1857, painting on glass about the Jakata and on Prince Siddhartha, as well as on the ways of life of the time. The captions are in Burmese. There are also notations that the paintings were by Thai Yai artisans from Mandalay.

Wat Chong Klang is located in central Mae Hong Son adjacent to Wat Chong Kham and in front of Chong Kham lake. Built in the 1860s, it enshrines the Buddha Sihing image brought from Burma in 1857. Near the main altar are nearly 200 paintings in glass of the Phra Vejsandorn Jataka (tales of the previous lives of the Buddha).
