Chiangrai City Pillar Shrine or Sadu Mueang at Doi Chom Thong. Lak mueang are city pillars found in most cities of Thailand. Usually housed in a shrine which is also believed to house Chao Pho Lak Mueang, the city spirit deity. They are held in high esteem by citizens. It was probably King Rama I who erected the first city pillar on 21 April 1782, when he moved his capital from Thonburi to Bangkok. The shrine was the first building in his new capital, the palace and other buildings being constructed later. Chiang Rai is the northernmost province of Thailand. Wat Phra That Doi Chom Thong (also known as Wat Phra That Doi Jom Thong) is located in Nakhon Chiang Rai, Amphoe Mueang, Chiang Rai Province, Thailand.
