왓 판 온(Wat Phan On)

Ratchadamnoen Road Soi 4, near Tha Phae gate Chiang Mai

Two story viharn

                        



The Wat Phan on is one of the smaller temples in the old walled city of Chiang Mai.

It was built in 1501 during the reign of the Lanna King Mueang Kaeo.

The temple complex consists of a large viharn, a golden chedi and the kuti or monks living quarters.

The Wat Phan on temple holds one of the most beautiful chedis in Chiang Mai.

The chedi was built in 2007 and named the Sareerikkatartsirirak Pagoda,

named by the King of Thailand, King Bhumibol Adulyadej (Rama IX).

The chedi contains red niches on all of its four sides in which Buddha images are enshrined.

Next to the chedi is a very large gong.

Large, two story viharn

The viharn of the Wat Phan on is a large two story building with a three tiered roof with chofahs decorating the roofs ends.

Large thevada figures are placed between the heavily decorated windows of its side walls.

The doors and windows are richly decorated with finely made wood carvings depicting mythological creatures.

The bodies and heads of Naga serpents make up the arches of the windows.

This viharn contains a large sitting Buddha image in front of the wall facing the entrance.

The image in the subduing Mara posture is a copy of the famous Phra Chinnarat Buddha of the Wat Phra Sri Rattana Mahathat temple in Phitsanulok. In front of the image is another, smaller Buddha statue.

Large square columns decorated with intricate motifs support the structure.

The walls contain several murals, including one of the Buddha’s first sermon at the deer park in Sarnath, India.


The temple courtyard

In the temple’s courtyard is a big tree under which a number of Buddha images are placed with umbrellas sheltering them. The large number of bells around the temple complex can be rung by Buddhists and tourists alike. Several large trees provide welcome shade. There are picnic tables around the grounds, and drinks and food are available from a small shop.

Every Sunday the Ratchadamnoen Road where the temple is located on becomes the scene of the Sunday evening walking street, which starts around 4 pm and lasts until midnight. During this market where mainly locally made handicrafts and food are sold, the Ratchadamnoen Road as well as the temple grounds can get very crowded.

Wat Umong 분원

There is two temples in Chiang Mai which are called 'Umong'. This one is the one in the city.

It is the Temple of the Great Monk's Cave, refering to the niche in the old brick chedi, where the monk used to meditate.

Wat Chiang Man(왓 치앙만)

구 시가 북쪽에 자리하고 있는 왓 치앙 만은 1296년에 설립되었다.

이는 멩라이 왕의 명으로 지어진 치앙마이에서 가장 오래된 사원이며

가장 가치있는 불상인 프라 씰라와 스리랑카에서 넘어온 프라 쎄딴가마니로 유명한 사원이다.

프라쌔땅따마니와 인프라씰라는 비를 부르고 재앙을 막아주는 불상으로 매우 신성시 여겨짐.
