Wat Buppharam, Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand
The temple complex contains multiple structures including an ordination hall, two assembly halls, a Dhamma hall, and a white pagoda with golden spire.
King Mueang Kaeo established Wat Buppharam in 1497, and it became the starting point for Kawila's ritual to reclaim Chiang Mai from Burmese control.
The temple halls display intricate murals depicting the Vessantara Jataka story and scenes of Buddhist structures across Chiang Mai's landscape.
Visitors can access the temple grounds to observe the teak wood Buddha statue, Phra Buddha Narit, which stands as Thailand's largest wooden Buddha.
The temple garden contains an unexpected collection of modern figurines, including representations of giraffes and Donald Duck characters.
