[2025 Chiang Mai Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Yang Kuang (Updated Apr)

#VisitChiangMai 🙏WatYangKwang in Chiang Mai . We happened to ride a bicycle past this temple, so we stopped in. Wow, the temple is so beautiful. It's not very big, but the atmosphere is very shady. The children helped sweep the temple grounds, speaking in the northern dialect. It was so cute. No matter how many times we've been to Chiang Mai, we're still impressed. If we have the chance, we have to stop by to pay respect and ask for blessings from Luang Pho Phra Phuttha Saksit, the principal Buddha statue that's over 700 years old, asking for good fortune. Many people have recommended it, and this place is very sacred. . And this temple also has a local legend from Chiang Mai that says that King Mangrai went to find a location to build a new city. He left Wiang Kum Kam and stopped to set up camp in this area, ordering his soldiers and ministers to build a fence. When Chiang Mai was occupied by the Burmese, the temple was abandoned. Over time, the temple was renovated again after King Kawila returned to drive the Burmese out of Lanna for the last time. Later, the name was changed to "Wat Yang Kwang". . 📌 https://goo.gl/maps/qcqZHkzZB1kSuTqC7 . #paitraveler #paitraveller #paitravel #watyangkwang #chiangmaitravel #beautifultemplechiangmai #thaitemple #chiangmai #worship #chiangmairainyseason

Today, I went to the edge of the old city in Chiang Mai and had some noodles. They were quite delicious. I especially love the variety of Thai fried pork skins, each with its own unique taste and texture. After eating, I took a walk and accidentally wandered into a local temple. It was very quiet and serene, with a beautiful white stupa. The weather was great today, making the stupa look especially bright and white in photos. Most temples have a large tree, often a Bodhi tree. I really like the big trees in temples. Standing under the tree and looking up at it makes me feel very calm and peaceful.

The real Phra Chao Saen Saew head that was discovered is now in the Chiang Mai National Museum.
