The facts
Located in the old city wall in Chiang Mai, Wat Chiang Man is the oldest Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai. The temple is as old as the city! If you want to get to know more about Chiang Mai and Buddhism, this is the perfect temple to visit!
Apart from the stunning architecture, Wat Chiang Man holds several important Buddhist artifacts. At the entrance of the temple, you will be able to see two Buddha statues. The larger one is worshiped at the start of Songkran as it is believed to bring the rain before the start of rice planting season. The smaller one is carved out of crystal and people believe that it has special healing powers!
Regardless of religion, this temple is the ideal place to learn about Chiang Mai people and their religious beliefs!
