Lok Molee Temple
In the area just north of the city moat of Chiang Mai, opposite of the Wat Morntheran, is the Lok Molee Temple from the year 1527 located. The King Pra Muang Kaew commands his people to build the chedi and the vihan of the Wat Lok Molee here in north Thailand. Now, about 500 years still many believers and tourist comes to visit the holy Buddha images here in this Buddhist temple in Chiangmai. The entry of the Wat is protected by two colorful images of Todsagan. In the temple court you can rest by fresh coffee and watch the beautiful Asian architecture around you. Compared with other Wat’s in Chiang Mai is this low visited one and you can find some lonely moments to meditate or come down from the busy city in north Thailand.

The big Buddha image of the Morntheran Temple
The best way to explore the beautiful Buddhist temple “Wat Morntheran” is by taxi, motorbike or by foot. The temple is direct on the north side of the old city ditch of Chiang Mai in north Thailand. You will recognize the Wat Morntheran because of the huge Buddha statue in front of the temple here in Thailand. It is a small but nice temple with many decorations and many things to explore. Not many tourists come here, so you will find some lonely moments to rest and meditate here at Mornteran in Chiangmai. We like this place because of the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful architecture. Please don’t forget to show off your shoes and wear adequate cloth if you go into the Wat, in the main it’s a holy place and not a tourist attraction!

A big Buddha in Chiangmai
The holy stupa of Wat Phra Singh in Chiangmai, north Thailand is build in Lanna style. The small chapel next to the stupa implies some great wall paintings. Some paintings here at Wat Phra Singh are from 1870. The scene on the south wall shows the famous Thai saga of the golden swan. Many believer, tourists and backpacker come to see and render homage to the big Buddha in the main hall of the Phrasing Temple. For me the Wat Phra Singh is one of the most superb temples in old Chiangmai in north Thailand. A visit here is a worthwhile excursion for all people who are interested in religious buildings. Please show off your shoes and don’t wear “beach clothes” if you come here, for many people it’s a holy place and not a tourist attraction!
