Wat Chiang Yuen

Chiang Mai


Another unique local temple is 16th-century Wat Chiang Yeun, just northeast of Pratu Chang Pheuak. Besides the large northern-style chedi here, the main attraction is an old Burmese colonial-style gate and pavilion. This area of Chiang Mai was historically settled by Shan people.
