WAT PHAN TAO, CHIANG MAI

In a city full of temples, diminutive Wat Phan Tao in the heart of Chiang Mai’s old town area still manages to stand out. Beautifully carved from teak, the main building dates back to the จmid 1880s and was formerly part of a royal palace belonging to the ruler of Chiang Mai. Wat Phan Tao is a pretty temple rather than spectacular, but it’s worth spending some time here especially if you are visiting neighbouring Wat Chedi Luang. It’s also a lovely venue to witness the various religious ceremonies and special events that take place throughout the year. These include Buddhist holidays, Songkran, New Year’s Eve and the Yi Peng Lantern Festival.  Details
