#Get a discount without relying on luck - Wat Phra Kaew Don Tao or Wat Phra Kaew Don Tao Suchadaram is located in Wiang Nuea Subdistrict, Mueang Lampang District, Lampang Province. Wat Phra Kaew Don Tao is an ancient and beautiful temple that is thousands of years old. It used to be the place where Phra Phuttha Maha Mani Rattana Patimakorn (Emerald Buddha) was enshrined since 1979, for 32 years. The reason why Wat Phra Kaew Don Tao is called Wat Phra Kaew Don Tao is because a legend says that Nang Suchada found an emerald in a watermelon (in northern dialect it is called Mak Tao) and brought it to the abbot to carve into a Buddha image, which is Phra Kaew Don Tao. Later, it was invited to be enshrined at Wat Phra That Lampang Luang until today. Important places of worship at Wat Phra Kaew Don Tao include a large pagoda containing the Buddha's hair, a beautiful Burmese-style pavilion enshrining a large Buddha image, and a chapel enshrining the Reclining Buddha. Which is as old as this temple. There is also the Royal Vihara and the Lanna Museum. To get to Wat Phra Kaew Don Tao, cross Ratchadaphisek Bridge and turn right onto Phra Kaew Road. After about 1 kilometer, you will see the Phra That standing prominently on a hill.
