Description:
This ancient stupa was probably constructed in the 15th century or even earlier, though it has never been dated. It is rumored to be the resting place of a mighty seven-headed naga, or dragon, that protected the local residents during the Thai invasion in the early 1800s. (Note: The name is pronounced tat dahm, not with the mildly invective intonation.)
