[2025 Chiang Rai Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Mung Muang (Updated Apr)

Chiang Rai 2 nights 3 days trip I went on a free trip with my friends. Day 2 schedule Accommodation B2 - Drink morning coffee at “100-year-old yellow songthaew” - Visit Wat Mung Muang - Take a songthaew to Doi Chang - Lunch and coffee at Abonjo Cafe with a great view - Dinner at Chiang Rai Night Bazaar *I took the Green Bus from Chiang Mai to Chiang Rai. It was one of the cheapest transportation methods, took about 3 hours and 30 minutes, and It costs at least 200 baht to 400 baht depending on the seat class. (You can also use Grab.) I recommend staying in the Chiang Rai city center as much as possible and taking a Grab or songthaew to the outskirts of Chiang Rai. Since Chiang Rai is a small city, you can see most of it by walking. Chui Fong and Doi Chang are a bit far away!! #Travel plan #Southeast Asia travel #Chiang Rai travel #Chiang Rai Doi Chang

#VisitChiangRai 🏡 Wat Ming Muang was originally a Shan temple. It is not known when it was built and was abandoned during the Burmese occupation. Later, during the restoration of Chiang Rai during the reign of Phraya Rattana Anan (Chao Un Ruean), people were rounded up and moved in. They dug up the soil to burn bricks and build a city wall. They dug down until the surface water came out over a wide area. Elephants were used to pull things and rest and play in the water, so the locals called it Nong Chang Moob. 🏞 Around 1877, Shan people came to trade and settle in this area. They built a temple on the abandoned temple grounds and named it Wat Chang Moob. Later, it was changed to Wat Ming Muang.
