Ming Muang Temple...a beautiful temple in the middle of the city

#ChiangraiTravel See beautiful temples in the middle of the city Wat Ming Muang, Chiang Rai .. It is an old Tai Yai temple that is as old as Chiang Rai city. It is located at the corner of the intersection on Trairat Road, near Samakkhi Witthayakhom School. .. In the past, there was a Tai Yai community that believed in Buddhism living around the temple. They jointly built religious buildings and religious objects in the Tai Yai-Burmese style. ..

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
