Wat Phan On, Buddhist temple in old city, Chiang Mai, Thailand

The temple features a three-tiered teak wooden structure set upon a stone base, with golden decorations and intricate carvings adorning the entrance.

Originally constructed as a throne hall in 1846, the building was transformed into a temple in 1876 using repurposed wooden panels from the palace.

Red-painted teak pillars support the structure where ancient Dhamma texts rest in carved wooden boxes near the main golden Buddha statue.

Located on Phra Pok Klao road next to Wat Chedi Luang, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 6 AM to 5 PM without entrance fees.

The temple received its name from the numerous kilns that were used to cast Buddha images for the neighboring Wat Chedi Luang temple.
