Wat Phra Yuen, Buddhist temple in Wiang Yong, Thailand
The temple features four tall standing Buddha statues positioned within arched niches on a square-based chedi with Burmese architectural elements.
Queen Chamathewi established the temple, originally named Wat Aranyikaram, in 666 AD as a residence for Buddhist monks from the Lahore kingdom.
Each standing Buddha statue at Wat Phra Yuen represents different spiritual positions, contributing to the temple's importance in Thai Buddhist practices.
The temple opens daily from 8 AM to 6 PM with no admission fee, located 4 kilometers from Doi Tee Junction in Lamphun Province.
A 600-year-old stone inscription discovered at the site provides historical documentation of regional Buddhist practices and royal patronage.
