In the late 14th century, a relic believed to be part of the Buddha’s shoulder bone was found in Sukhothai and sent to the Lanna Kingdom. A sacred white elephant carried it up Doi Suthep, pausing at Wat Pha Lat before climbing higher, trumpeting three times, and dying.
Taking this as a divine sign, King Nu Naone built Wat Doi Suthep in 1383, where the relic remains enshrined today – a timeless symbol of faith and devotion.
