I hoped to come here for long time ago, and finally I got it. Very interesting story when the “Phra Chao Ton Luang” was built. I was so happy to came here.
This is a wonderful temple and a must to visit, but remember to dress respectfully. There are Buddha statues where Buddhists attach gold foil to. Watch and see how its done. There is a massive Buddha statue here and remember, dont point your feet at Buddha if you are sitting or kneeling
This Wat has a Leopard and a Tiger statue at the entrance with representations of them in carvings at the front and rear facades of the temple.A pleasant 15 minutes to enjoy the serenity should you not have an inherent Buddhist interest.
The first thing people go for in visiting a Thai Wat is the ordination hall and this one does not disappoint with its huge, gilded Buddha. To the left, outside the hall is another large buddha, clearly very ancient and showing Indian influence. Children will love the garden on the right of the temple compound with its many fantastical animal and other sculptures reminiscent of the Tiger Balm Gardens. The cloisters surrounding the main complex (this is an ancient walled temple) have a good collection of Buddhas from any different eras.
This impressive pair of temples is found in the main opart of the city, yet is quiet and tacitly impressive, with a side temple. Not open all the time, so better to visit later in the day.
The temple is the home of a 530 year old Buddha statue “Phra Chao Ton Luang”. Measuring 16 metres in width and 18 metres in height, the statue was once considered the biggest Buddha image in Lanna (northern Thailand). After worship Phra Chao Ton Luang, don’t forget to visit the hell garden and the museum nearby.

Lovely temple about 20 mins walk from the town centre. There’s parking and a small stall for cold drinks and snacks.

Beautiful Wat built in a modern manna style. Park with concrete animals for kids to run around in. 30mins enough.
This busy temple has some delightful and funny statues at the front steps leading to the temple entrance. Easy access, and the parking is good.
