The legend goes that this 33 meters high and 11 meters wide Chiang Saen-style chedi housing the hair and left elbow relics of the Lord Buddha, was built by Khun Lua Ai Kom during 1336 - 1338 AD, which was in the reign of Phra Maha Thammaracha Lithai (reign 1347 - 1368 AD). The octagonal chedi has a square base with 12 redented corners. The stupa is made of brick and mortar, covered with brass plate, and is lacquered and coated with gold inlay. The name of the temple refers to fine silk, which was first used to wrap around the chedi, woven in Xi Shuang Banna. Some say that it was named after the satin given as an offering by Khun Lua Ai Kom.
