Do you know about Wat Palad? Most people have still never heard of it.
Wat palad is a combination of religion and nature. This place was built more than 600 years ago, in King Kuena's era,the king of Lanna kingdom. And the temple is located on Doi Suthep, the path way to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep.
It was told that the white elephant picked relic to search of the holy storage location, while being followed by the king and the soldiers. At one point, the elephant stopped at Palad waterfall as a short visit before going to the place with setting the relic, what is now called Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep. Afterwards, King Kuena commissioned the building of three temples to memorialize the epic journey. One of the three temples was Wat Palad or Skadagamiwanaeam.
