Wat Saen Muang Ma Luang (Wat Hua Khuang)

5 The Awesome Jade H (邊渡友次子) - a month ago

This is one of my favorite wat.

Biggest reasons: not touristy, quiet, off the main road so it's hidden ????, huge, free, and beautiful.

I've noticed many established "popular" wats charge entrance fees and are bustle with tourists buses rendering the wats into businesses rather cultural relics or serene places to visit.

This wat was a discovery by accident as it was hidden in a small alley! We spent almost an hour just to walk and sit around! The inside was not open when we visited ????????, but that's ok.

The architectures are just beautiful!

Highly recommend this place for a peaceful and quiet wat visit.

Beautiful temple in the North East of Old Chiang Mai city. Its rather peaceful and quiet considering is is just off a busy road. The grounds are beautiful with temples decorated in reds and golds, clearly being looked after by the monks that live there. The temple is free to walk around you just have to respect it and dress appropriately (women cover knees and shoulders). It only took us about 20 mins to walk around as it is quite a small place but we could have easily spent more time if more buildings were open.

This wat is in the Burmese style with white, monumental ornaments and dark, wood roofs - this wat has a different flavor than others in the area. There are no gardens, it's all paved and tidy. No interior areas seem to be open to the public, and few people are around. Really worth a visit.

Must visit temple in Chiang Mai. A great piece of architecture! It's located in old city and is spacious. There are many subtemples inside. The place is quite and non touristic.

One of the bigger Wat in Chiang Mai. You have to walk around the whole area. Interesting temples. Unfortunately all of them have been closed.

Very peaceful. Can't go in the temples, but all the buildings are beautiful on the outside. Well maintained.
