Wat Chet Wan, Buddhist temple in Hua Wiang, Thailand

The temple contains ornate wooden doors and painted murals that display scenes from Buddhist teachings throughout its interior and exterior walls.

The temple, established in the fifteenth century, functioned as a primary center for Buddhist education and spiritual development in northern Thailand.

The temple maintains its status as a religious institution where monks lead daily prayers, meditation sessions, and ceremonial rituals throughout the year.

Visitors need to wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees, remove shoes before entering buildings, and maintain silence during meditation times.

The temple structures incorporate architectural elements from the Lanna period, featuring detailed wooden carvings and traditional northern Thai design patterns.
