AN HISTORIC pagoda at Wat Srisuphan Silver Temple in Chiang Mai collapsed after several days of torrential rain today (Sept. 29) with this following the collapse of a part of the historic city wall near Chang Puak gate that has been standing for 750 years last Saturday (Sept 24), Matichon newspaper said this evening.

 

However monks of this temple said on the Facebook page that a miracle occurred because this 500-year-old sacred pagoda is taller than a three-storey building but in collapsing did not hit the adjacent school.

 

An hour before its collapse the temple’s monks had alerted on their page that cracks had now appeared in the pagoda and they had to be careful.
