Wat Hang Dong

The temple features traditional Lanna wooden architecture with a distinct cross-shaped hall positioned within the central courtyard of the complex.

Founded in 1858, Wat Hang Dong served as a resting point for the Phra Boromathat Chom Thong relic during its transportation from Chom Thong to Chiang Mai.

The temple maintains its position as a center for Buddhist practices and meditation, where monks guide visitors through traditional spiritual ceremonies and teachings.

Located 15 kilometers south of Chiang Mai city center, the temple opens daily for visitors who can observe morning alms giving and evening prayer sessions.

The temple houses intricate wooden carvings within its Viharn, demonstrating the specialized craftsmanship that later influenced Ban Tawai village's woodworking tradition.
