Legend
Legend has it that the pagoda was built by a weizza (who married a dragon princess) and his daughter Queen Sawnanwai, as well as his son, a dragon king, who became nats (spirit) after they were died with a violent death. The dragon king and his enemy, the giant frog king, formed Hpa-an. The pagoda's grounds contain impressive statues of these legendary figures.
