[2024 Chiang Mai Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Lok Moli (Updated Oct)

Wat Lok Moli: an ancient and niche temple in northern Thailand.

When I first arrived in Chiang Mai in early 2015, there were no tourists. It's located on the outskirts of the northern part of the old city, but few people know about it. In Thailand, there are also twelve zodiac signs, similar to us, and each zodiac has its own guardian towers, which are distributed in various places in Thailand. For example, the famous Suthep Temple is the guardian of the sheep, and the guardian of the snake is next to the Maya shopping mall. The Jieyao Temple, the temple that guards cattle is in Nanbang, and the temple that guards rabbits is in Nan County... The Ramoli Temple tells the story of guarding these zodiac signs. 🔺🔺 Notice: Don't come in with a camisole and shorts. 🔺🔺 hint: Try not to use the temple toilets. Firstly, you have to pay, and secondly, you have to change your shoes, and most of the shoes that are changed for you are left, and you throw them everywhere. In the end, you can only play barefoot and make up your own brain 😂😂 🔺🔺 transportation: There is a parking space in the temple. It is not too big. It is very convenient to take a taxi. You can go directly from the north gate of the ancient city and cross the bridge.

Wat Lok Moli is outside the north moat in Chiang Mai. It boasts long history and now becomes the center of the Buddhism education, folk art and culture. There will be a variety of festival activities every year. During the Loi Krathong Festival, all streets will be decorated with lanterns and streamers every night. Also, ornaments of Lanna look enchanting.

Wat Rommanee in Chiang Mai, Thailand: A Blessing for Love, Ideal for Meditation and Relaxation.

Visiting temples in Chiang Mai, Thailand, I highly recommend a historic temple called Wat Rommanee. Located in the heart of the ancient city of Chiang Mai, this temple has a history of 500 years. It is famous for love because of the shrine dedicated to the goddess of love, Jirapamahati. Many locals from Chiang Mai or residents from other provinces in Thailand come here to pray for blessings of love. Built in 1527, this was once a royal temple. It features exquisite Lanna-style sculptures and architecture. The temple is not large, with the main hall having overlapping eaves in the Lanna style. The overall tone of the temple is relatively calm and ancient, different from other Thai temples that are mainly gold and white. Compared to other popular temples in Chiang Mai, this place has fewer tourists, making it a very peaceful atmosphere ideal for meditation and relaxation.

Wat Lok Molee in Chiang Mai is truly spectacular. Located just North of the Old City wall across the moat where there is a bridge, the temple grounds boasts of unique sculptures and architectural styles. There is also a mist garden leading to a pavilion to pray. Another special feature is where a pulley can be drawn to lift a vessel up the chedi to offer water to the buddha on top. ##chiangmai
