Wat Pa Kham is a place of historical and local artistic significance in the Pai district. It was established in 1869 (B.E. 2412) and received its official royal land grant in 1937 (B.E. 2480), serving as a spiritual center for the local community.

The temple has a long history, built during the era when the ruler of Pai moved the town to its current location in Wiang Tai sub-district. The temple houses many important historical and artistic artifacts, including "Phra Singh Dam," an ancient and sacred Buddha statue believed to be over 500 years old, and exquisitely carved wooden Buddha statues.

Additionally, there is a cluster of gleaming golden chedis, with a prominent central chedi surrounded by smaller satellite chedis. This architecture reflects the prosperity of Buddhism in a bygone era.

During festivals and special seasons, people often travel to the temple to make merit and participate in religious activities, creating an atmosphere full of peace and faith.

This temple is also suitable for those interested in history, religion, and the blended Lanna and Burmese art styles found in its various architectural elements.
