Wat Saen Mueang Ma Luang or Wat Hua Khwang was originally called Wat Lakkhapurakamaram (the temple built by Phra Chao Saen Mueang Ma). Later, Phra Chao Mueang Kaew in 2063 renovated the Wat Hua Khwang pagoda to be larger than before. Phra Mueang Kaew and his mother, along with 3 groups of monks, with the royal teacher as the chairman, enshrined the relics in the great pagoda of Wat Lakkhapurakamaram. After that, the Tripitaka scriptures were created in the Hom Na Thian Tham. His Majesty ordered a grand celebration. In 2006, Phra Khru Plad Song Sawat Panya Wachiro, along with monks and novices, demolished the Hom Na Thian Tham and rebuilt it. The twelve-sided bell-shaped pagoda is a combination of Chiang Saen and Sukhothai art styles. During the Burmese invasion of Chiang Mai, the pagoda was partially damaged. Later, it was repaired, making the base from the three-tiered front board base up to the lotus pedestal a special feature that has never been seen in round pagodas. This pagoda was announced and registered in the Government Gazette, Volume 96, Part 167, dated September 25, 1979. Important religious objects include the main cement Buddha image in the chapel and a bronze Buddha image, 1.88 meters wide and 2.63 meters high. Some local people call it Phra Saen Muang Ma Luang.

#tripfreeaccommodation #watsaenmuangmaluang #travelchiangmai #prayforblessing Today, I would like to recommend a temple in Chiang Mai Province, which is one of the oldest and most important temples in Lanna. If you are a religious lover and a temple lover, you should not miss it. Watsaenmuangmaluang, also known as Wat Huakhwang, is believed to have been built during the reign of King Saenmuangma. Inside the temple, there is a beautiful royal chapel in Lanna architecture, which was rebuilt around 2544 to replace the original chapel that was damaged by fire. The principal Buddha image inside is Phra Phuttharatanaburi Sali Saenmuangma, a large Buddha image in the Mara-Vijaya attitude, with a lap width of 6 meters and a height of 9 meters. It is one of the most beautiful Buddha images in Lanna. The ordination hall inside enshrines Phra Chao Si Mueangma, a life-size Buddha image in the meditation attitude. The Mahathat Chedi of Wat Huakhwang is a Lanna-Sukhothai-style chedi. It is a twelve-sided chedi with a bell-shaped top, showing Sukhothai influence, which is a popular style of chedi built in the 21st Buddhist century. It is similar to Phra That Doi Suthep. and Phra That Lampang Luang 📍175 Phra Pok Klao Rd., Si Phum Subdistrict, Mueang District Chiang Mai Province

#ThailandTravel A beautiful temple, a little hidden so be careful not to go there. We found it by accident but there are often temples in Chiang Mai so we walked around everywhere to enter the temples we saw. The elephant at the entrance looked very cool and I liked the doors and windows.
