Ton Thong Chai, Thailand

Wat Phra Chedi Sao Lang (lit. 'monastery of twenty stupas' in Lanna Thai) is a Buddhist temple in Lampang, Thailand. The temple is located approximately 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi) north of Lampang, and is noted for its series of 20 chedis arranged in a courtyard. The bases of the chedis are built in the Lan Na style, and the upper parts are built in the Burmese style. The temple also houses a 15th-century solid gold Buddha image that weighs 1,507 kilograms (3, 322 lb). The name Chedi Sao Lang means 20 Chedis; sao is Lanna dialect for 'twenty' and lang is the classifier for buildings.
