Chedi Chaya Mongkhol

Chedi Chaya Mongkhol

The Great Chedi Chaya Mongkhol was built by the command of King Naresuan the Great, to commemorate his decisive victory over the Burmese invasion in 1592AD. The event reached its climax in the momentous elephant combat between the King and the Burmese crown prince Maha Uparaja, in the province of Suparnburi. The renown of King Naresuan was such that there were no invasions for two hundred years.
