Chedi Phra Khun Mae is a very interesting attraction with the
same chedi shape as Phra Phratom Chedi but smaller in size.
Inside the chedi, lies a model of Buddha's footprint surrounded
by 7-day Buddha images. This chedi was build to remind a good
son and daughter their mother's kindness and repay. Chedi
Phra Khun Mae is located in the area of Wat Klong Mai, Wihan
Daeng District, Saraburi Province. It is in an
upside-down-bell-shaped Chedi with the height of approximately
30 metres. Inside the Chedi, Ketu, who protects each and every
one regardless their birthday, is installed on the top.
Moreover, there is also a model of Buddha's left footprint
installed inside the Chedi. The outside is surrounded by 7-day
Buddha images from Sunday to Saturday for visitors to sightsee
and make merit. Wat Klong mai was built many years ago as
well as Chedi Phra Khun Mae. Mr. Phachuab Jampathong, the famous
spokesman and the owner of the nationwide famous Kuan Im Cream,

Chedi Phra Khun Mae. The purpose is to remind those who come to
pay respect the kindness of their mother whom we all owe the
