Over seven hundred years old, Phaya Mangrai, the king of Yongok Nakhon established it as the first capital of Lanna, but "Wiang Kum Kam" was not long ago the capital. because of the problem of flooding every Year, finally to collapse due to a large flood. The water flowed and took mud soil from the Ping River to overcome this city. Causing Wiang Kum Kam buried under sediment until it was difficult to rejuvenate various temple conditions And important historical sites left only the remains of abandoned temples and pagodas that were sunken underground at a depth of about 1.50 - 2.00 meters.
