Aranyawas Temple, see the metal castle

#NewYearNewTrip Visit Chiang Mai this February. I would like to recommend Wat Aranyawas or known as Wat Ban Pong. It is located in Ban Pong Subdistrict, Hang Dong District, Chiang Mai Province. It is a temple of historical and architectural significance, especially the "Loha Prasat" or "Phra That Si Mueang Pong", which is the first Lanna-style metal castle in the world. The metal castle is located on the hill behind the temple. It stands out with its beautiful and unique architecture. The temple and murals: Inside the temple, there are murals that tell the story of the faith in Buddhism of the Lanna people. Visitors can worship and pay homage to the metal castle to enhance their auspiciousness. In addition, from the metal castle area, you can see a beautiful view of Hang Dong District. Travel Wat Aranyawas is located in Hang Dong District, approximately 20 kilometers from Chiang Mai city. You can travel by taking Highway No. 1269 (Chiang Mai-Samoeng route). When you reach Ban Pong, look for the sign to enter the temple. Opening hours: The temple is open every day from 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. I would recommend it.
