Visit Wat Chedi Luang Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, Beautiful temple and royal pagoda over 600 years old.
Hello everyone. Three weeks ago me and my wife visited and made merit at various temples in Muang District, Chiang Mai Province. We plan and intend to visit the ancient and important temples of Chiang Mai Province. One of the temples we went to was Wat Chedi Luang. Wat Chedi Luang an ancient temple over 600 years old in Chiang Mai Province. This temple has a long history and significance.
Wat Chedi Luang was built around the year A.D. 1385 - 1402. And built in the reign of Phaya Saen Mueang Ma, King Rama 7 of the Mangrai Dynasty. The Lanna Kingdom period, an ancient kingdom in the north of Thailand.
Me and my wife read a brief history and looked at photos from the Internet. We feel like and fascinated by this temple. This is why we visit the Wat Chedi Luang.
Absolutely, when me and my wife arrived Wat Chedi Luang. We are more passionate and amazing this temple.
The first architecture we saw was the grand Buddha image hall (viharn) of the temple. This buddha image hall (viharn) of the temple was built in A.D. 1928 or 95 years ago. Buddha image hall (viharn) is a beautiful large viharn in the style of Lanna art and gilded lacquered with beautiful various patterns.
Inside the buddha image hall (viharn) is very beautiful. There is a principal buddha image of the viharn, a bronze buddha image in the attitude of persuading the relatives not to quarrel. This Buddha image is about 612 years old. Unfortunately, that day the buddha image hall (viharn) was being renovated. Therefore, tourists are not allowed to enter the viharn. So we didn't get to see and take pictures inside this buddha image hall (viharn).

On the side (left and right) buddha image hall (viharn) there will be a new pagoda, I think 2 pagodas must have just been built. Because I don't have any information about these 2 pagodas. The white pagoda has a color gold pagoda top.
Then, when me and my wife walked behind the Buddha image hall (viharn). We saw the ancient architecture, which is an important historical site and the highlight of this temple. An ancient pagoda over 600 years old, which is the royal pagoda of this temple. Built in the reign of Phaya Saen Mueang Ma, King Rama 7 of the Mangrai Dynasty of the Lanna Kingdom. This royal pagoda has been restored several times. Now, royal pagoda only half remain. Because the pagoda was damaged by an earthquake in A.D. 1545. But the remain of the pagoda is in quite complete and beautiful condition.
When we walk around the temple. We saw various pavilions and the small buddha image hall (viharn). These architectures create a Lanna art style.
Inside the small Buddha image hall (viharn) and various pavilions There are Buddha images in various positions in each pavilion. All these Buddha statues are very beautiful.
Me and my wife enjoyed and it was worth it when we traveled a long way to visit this temple. If you like the beautiful of Thai temples. This temple is another temple that I recommend.

Yes thanks 🙏.
Chiang Mai is a famous place, I heard a lot about it but never had a chance to visit it. Look at that 6000 year old temple, I don't know how people built it and how people keep it in a good condition like that.
Those architectures have been restored many times in the past until now. And I'm glad to see these architectures in good condition like that too. Thank you.
