“Wat Luang Khun Win”, a former abandoned temple in the middle of the forest, over 700 years old
“Peaceful, beautiful and full of the charm of nature”
Wat Luang Khun Win is located in the middle of the forest in Mae Wang District, Chiang Mai Province. It is an old temple built during the reign of King Ku Na, the King of Lanna, more than 700 years ago. The specialty of this temple is its tranquility, surrounded by large and small trees, and its authentic Lanna architecture that still maintains its original beauty.
The charm of Wat Luang Khun Win
✅ A challenging journey – You have to take a four-wheel drive pickup truck through a gravel road and steep hills for about 10 kilometers from the village. But once you get there, the atmosphere you experience is worth every trip.
✅ An old wooden chapel – Built entirely of teak wood, with a layered roof in the Lanna style, decorated with intricate carvings.
✅ A quiet atmosphere – Not crowded with tourists, suitable for practicing Dhamma and relaxing the mind.
✅ Shady nature – The temple is located in the middle of a green forest, with cool weather all year round, especially in winter.
Tips for traveling
📌 It is recommended to use a pickup truck or four-wheel drive vehicle because the route is quite steep.
📌 If you do not have a private car, you can rent a car from the villagers from Khun Win Village to take you.
📌 Bring drinking water and essentials with you. Because there are no shops along the way
📌 You should go in the morning or late afternoon to make it convenient to travel back
“For those looking for natural and cultural attractions, Wat Luang Khun Win is another destination that you shouldn’t miss!”

📞Hello Hello, I heard it and answered.
We are at the Sobwin handicraft village to travel to Watluangkhunwin. I recommend using the villagers' car, it will be safer.
Watluangkhunwin is located in the middle of a lush forest⛰️🌳 because it is far from the community. It used to be an abandoned temple until Phra Khru Ba Unruen came to renovate it.
The chapel is a Lanna architecture, beautiful and graceful but with a sense of awe. One chapel enshrines the world's largest standing Buddha statue carved from champak wood✨️
The other enshrines the reclining Buddha statue carved from wood by Lanna craftsmen.
In addition to its beauty, this temple is also cool with pure nature. Although it is very difficult to get to, you will not be disappointed.❤️

For anyone who goes to Chiang Mai, we highly recommend this temple...a beautiful temple in a big forest, Wat Luang Khun Win.
This place is over 700 years old and is located in the middle of a big forest. We don't know much about temples. When we went, we saw reviews, so we wanted to see it with our own eyes for once. This visit was not disappointing because this temple is shady and magical. The Buddha amulets are beautifully carved and everything looks perfect. We were amazed and thought that coming here was worth it. We want our friends to try it if they come to Chiang Mai and have time. #trip

Wat Luang Khun Win
Wat Luang Khun Win is located in the Mae Wang district and is a very beautiful place. The journey requires a lot of expertise if you plan to drive up yourself. There are many challenging spots, so it's better to hire a local chartered vehicle. For those who love driving, it's quite a thrilling experience. Especially during the rainy season, some parts of the road are soft dirt, requiring concentration and constant vigilance. But the trip is well worth it. I can only say it's amazing. Upon reaching the temple area, I am grateful and respectful to the creators who managed to build such a beautiful place for us to visit. Compared to the distance, one must have strong faith because the temple is very beautiful, like another dimension. It has a charming, magical, serene, and peaceful atmosphere. I used to think that to see a Naga, I had to go to the Isan region. I never thought I would find one in Chiang Mai. I was impressed with everything, whether it was the route, the distance, the road conditions, the weather, and the friends who helped plan the trip until we successfully drove here ourselves. The 5-kilometer distance on the mountain is quite extreme. Everyone should come visit! 😘🥰

To visit W
To visit Wat Luang Khun Win, start your journey from Chiang Mai and drive towards Mae Wang District. The temple is about 1.5 hours away, and the drive is an adventure in itself, involving narrow, winding mountain roads that add to the secluded charm of the destination.
Begin by heading to Ban Kat market in Mae Wang, then follow Route 1013 until you reach Ban Sop Win. From there, turn right when you see the signs for "Wat Luang Khun Win" or the Karen Eco Lodge. The road gets rougher as you ascend into the mountains, but continue to follow the signs. You'll pass through a Karen village and then reach the temple, which is tucked away in the jungle, offering a peaceful and mystical atmosphere.
