Wat Chiang Man is the oldest temple in Chiang Mai, dating back to the founding of the city in 1296 by King Mengrai. This ancient temple is renowned for its intricate Lanna-style architecture, stunning wood carvings and murals, and important Buddha images, including the oldest Buddha image in Chiang Mai. The temple complex features several impressive structures, including the Elephant Chedi, an impressive three-tiered viharn with gold and ochre wood carvings, a smaller Lanna-style viharn containing two small but highly revered Buddha images, and an ubosot or ordination hall decorated with beautiful ochre-colored wooden details.
