| Unseen Thailand 3rd Series (2004) - Phra Nang Din in Phayao | |
Places of interest and local heritage: Phra Nang Din in Phayao Legend says the principal Buddha image at this temple was cast contemporaneously during Lord Buddha's lifetime, its early years stretching back to mythic times over 2,500 years ago. According to lore, once locals constructed the image, and it was to be fitted to the traditional base, the image could not be lifted despite all attempts.The image's name, "Phrachao Nang Din"or "image seated upon the ground", was thus created and its story passed on through the ages. The statue retains the unique feature of remaining unadorned by the typical Buddhist base.
