Frommer's Review
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.)
Note: This information was accurate when it was published, but can change without notice. Please be sure to confirm all rates and details directly with the companies in question before planning your trip.
