          “Roi Tak  Phaa” (รอยตากผ้า) meaning “the stain of hanging cloths”, it is a myth about the  robe of the Lord Buddha in the past. He came from a long tough journey and stopped for relaxation here. He asked Arnon (his follower monk) to wash his robe and hang on the cliff there. Up until now, there still appears the stain, its believed that the stain is the same as the Buddha robe stain. The shape of the stain is a square and curve, resembling a monk's robe.

          The stain has a checkerboard pattern, similar to the ridge of India in the Buddhist era. Phra That See-Khruba is where the relics are located up to Doi Crua Mountain. It was built to inherit the will of Kruba Chaiwong. The relics are based on Lord Hari Phun Chai’s style.
