Wat Chiang Man
Wat Chiang Man is the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. It was
constructed in 1296 by King Mengrai, the founder of Chiang Mai.
The temple features typical Northern Thai temple architecture
and contains several old artifacts.
Wat Chiang Man houses two very important and venerated
Buddha figures - Phra Sila (a marble bas-relief Buddha supposed
to have come from Sri Lanka 2,000 years ago) and Phra Satang
Man (a crystal Buddha from Lopburi, thought to be about 1,800
years old).
