Wat Chai Prakiat, Buddhist temple in Old Town, Chiang Mai, Thailand
The temple complex includes an ornate viharn with red-lacquered teak columns, decorated walls, and a principal Buddha image called Mungrai.
The temple stands within the ancient city walls of Chiang Mai, featuring traditional architecture and a chedi adorned with a layered base and golden bell.
The temple houses important Buddhist manuscripts in its ho trai building, while the walls display murals illustrating scenes from Buddha's life.
Located at 15/14 Soi Sanam Kela Lane 2, Tambon Si Phum, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 7:00 AM to 7:00 PM without entrance fees.
The viharn demonstrates an unusual north-south orientation with its main Buddha image facing south, contrary to the typical eastern direction of Thai temples.
