Wat Yang Kuang, Buddhist temple in Haiya, Thailand.
The temple compound includes an octagonal chedi with a bell-shaped finial, reflecting traditional Lanna architectural elements of northern Thailand.
Archaeological excavations in 2017 revealed 500-year-old ruins beneath the modern structures, indicating continuous religious activity at this location.
The temple functions as a center for Buddhist practices, where local residents participate in merit-making ceremonies and religious observances throughout the year.
Visitors can reach Wat Yang Kuang by following the route from Chiang Mai Gate through local roads in the Haiya neighborhood.
Ancient foundations discovered during renovations suggest the site served as a temporary residence for King Mangrai while planning Chiang Mai's establishment.
