Wat Klang is an ancient temple of great historical, artistic, and spiritual importance to the Shan people in Pai.

The temple has a long history, originally an abandoned temple that was rebuilt around 1851 CE by the Shan people. It underwent several renovations, with its current well-known form dating back to approximately 1952 CE.

It has been continuously preserved and developed to maintain its cultural and spiritual value for the community. The architecture within the temple is distinctive, highlighted by a large central chedi surrounded by Mon-style satellite chedis. Above the chedi's base is a beautiful and intricate gilded crown-like structure.
