Wat Phra That Doi Kham (lit. 'Temple of the Golden Mountain's Relic') is a Buddhist temple in the Mae Hia sub-district, Chiang Mai, Thailand. Situated atop Doi Kham hill at an elevation of approximately 200 meters above sea level, the temple is a significant historical and religious site that enshrines relics of the Buddha. Its original name was Wat Suwannabanpot ('Golden Mountain Temple'). The temple houses the sacred Buddha hair relic, the 1,300-year-old chedi, and a 17-meter-tall seated Buddha image.
