There are many temples in Chiang Mai, but this is one of my favorites. It is also off the beaten track from most tourist programs, making for a quieter more peaceful visit. One of 75 temples located inside the Old City, this one is popular with locals and Buddhist devotees in particular, as it contains the Fon Saen Ha Buddha which is over 1,000 years old. The temple meaning translates as “10,000 drops of rain” and it plays a central role in the annual Lak Mueang festival or Inthakhin Festival, when the Chiang Mai city pillar, which is kept in Wat Chei Luang, is venerated. Worth adding to your must visit places, particularly early mornings.
