Wat Ming Muang or Mung Muang An ancient temple over 800 years old, which is the same age as Chiang Rai city. The architecture inside is so beautiful that people who love ancient art will scream!! Chiang Rai people will know this temple as Wat Chang Moob, which means the temple of the crouching elephant because it is said that this temple has a history related to the elephant that was the companion of King Mengrai the Great since ancient times. This temple is full of the beauty of ancient Tai Yai, Burmese, and Lanna art, which is very impressive! Inside the pagoda, there is also a relic of the Lord Buddha for you to pay homage to. #Waiting for the day to travel
