This 9-storey stupa houses relics of the Lord Buddha and important Buddhist scriptures. The windows and doors of each storey are intricately carved by hand. The beautiful carvings feature the life of former Lord Buddha reincarnations, Buddhist rites and the 16 classes of visible deities in the Brahma’s world. Murals inside the stupa show the history of the town. The top floor contains relics of the Lord Buddha and an amazing panoramic view of beung kaen lake and city.
