Wat Phan Tao, Buddhist temple in Phra Sing, Thailand
The temple features a spacious prayer hall supported by 28 teak pillars, with dark wooden panels lining the interior walls and ceiling.
Originally constructed as a royal throne hall in 1846, the building was transformed into a temple in 1876 using repurposed teak panels.
The temple entrance displays a peacock and dog motif, representing the astrological birth year of the former royal resident who inhabited this space.
Located on Phra Pokklao Road in Chiang Mai's old city, the temple welcomes visitors who must wear appropriate clothing during their visit.
The monastery contains one of the few remaining all-wooden structures in Chiang Mai, built entirely from teak panels set upon a stone foundation.
