after Doi Suthep - and probably the most
lovely, dates from 1345. The temple compound
includes the Lai Kham chapel with exquisite
woodcarvings and murals, |
and a repository
with striking base relief. The beautiful
library is a Lanna-style building with stucco
angels that convey tranquility and delicacy.
Behind the viharn is a wooden bot with a
stunning stucco and gold entrance. Behind
is a Sukhothai style chedi built by King
Pha Yu to hold the ashes of his father.

Wat Chedi Luang
Wora Wiharn , maybe the most impressive
temple of Chiang Mai , is known for its
huge chedi. Built in 1401 and
raised to a height of 86m in 1454 by King
Tilokaraja (the founder of Wat Chet Yot
), |
it was
partially destroyed and reduced to its present
height of 42m during a massive earthquake
in 1545. Another feature of the site is
the tall gum tree that lies just inside
its entrance. According to legend, the fate
of the tree is linked to that of the city
: when the tree falls, so will Chiang Mai.
Also of interest are a Naga (serpent) staircase
adorning the main chapel's front porch,
and the framed pictures along the walls
with English captions explaining the story
of the Buddha's life. |
