Chiang Rai Mae Sai Shwedagon Pagoda Tachileik Chiang Tung Myanmar
Shwedagon Pagoda Tachileik Chiang Tung Myanmar http://www.hotsia.com > Mae Sai > Shwedagon Pagoda Tachileik Chiang Tung Myanmar Before visiting the replica Shwedagon Pagoda, let's learn about the original pagoda's history. According to legend, the Shwedagon Pagoda was built 2,500 years ago. It is said that two merchant brothers once visited the Buddha, who then bestowed eight strands of his hair. Only two of these strands were enshrined in the pagoda.
The pagoda was abandoned until the 14th century when King Pinya U graciously ordered the construction of a new pagoda 18 meters high. The pagoda was continuously repaired and reached a height of 98 meters in the 15th century. Minor earthquakes gradually caused damage, and in 1768 (during the Thonburi period), a major earthquake caused the top of the pagoda to collapse. The pinnacle of the pagoda contains 5,448 diamonds.
Especially at the very top, there is a large 76-carat diamond and 2,317 rubies. Visitors must remove their shoes at the entrance and walk clockwise. Depending on the visitor's birth day, they can view the 12 sections of the pagoda accordingly. The replica pagoda is not as tall or grand as the original. As for the diamonds, I doubt there are any here. Visitors must also remove their shoes and pay a 10 baht shoe deposit. In front of the pagoda, fresh sugarcane juice is sold for 10 baht per glass.
You can turn the hand-cranked sugarcane juicer yourself while waiting. Then drink it all at once. Try visiting! Mr.Hotsia 2010 Travel series: Myanmar Tachileik - Replica Shwedagon Pagoda, fresh pressed sugarcane juice in Myanmar. Every tour plan at Tachileik includes this. Tai Yai people sell goods at Shwedagon and require shoe removal before entering. Refreshing sugarcane juice is available. For those born on Sunday, the symbol is a rooster—I just learned that.
