The two traveled by sailboat to Chaiya City. When they arrived, they brought their followers to land at Ban Na Khai, near Wat Na Mueang. Later, the governor assigned Pa Mo, who was an expert craftsman, to build the Phra Borommathat Chaiya Chedi. When it was finished, he cut off Pa Mo's hands and feet so that he would not build such beautiful chedis for others. After that, Pa Mo could not withstand the poison of his wounds and eventually died. Later, the governor cast a statue of the Bodhisattva Avalokiteshvara to represent Pa Mo. Cr.
