Wat Chiang Yuen, Buddhist temple in Si Phum, Chiang Mai, Thailand

The temple features a substantial northern Thai chedi with a whitewashed square base supported by Burmese chinthe at each corner of the structure.

Constructed in the 1500s, Wat Chiang Yuen required reconstruction in 1794 by King Kawila following a period of abandonment during Burmese governance.

Lanna kings traditionally visited this temple to pay respect to the Phra Suppunyu Chao Buddha image before their coronation ceremonies.

Located 600 meters east of Wat Lok Moli, the temple maintains regular opening hours and requires visitors to wear appropriate clothing covering shoulders and knees.

The temple incorporates an octagonal middle section decorated with porcelain flowers, culminating in a five-tiered hti at its peak.
