Wat Chet Yot, Buddhist temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand

The temple grounds contain seven prominent chedis adorned with detailed patterns and designs that rise above a central pyramidal structure.

The temple complex was constructed during the Lanna Kingdom period and demonstrates the architectural influence of the Mahabodhi Temple of Bodh Gaya in India.

Monks perform daily rituals within the temple complex, maintaining Buddhist traditions through meditation sessions and religious ceremonies throughout the year.

Located near Chiang Rai's center, the temple welcomes visitors from 7:00 AM to 6:00 PM without entrance fees, though donations support maintenance efforts.

The structure features seventy stucco reliefs of divine beings on its exterior walls, with faces that reflect the appearance of ancient royal family members.
