Small
and
quiet.
Main
temple
is
in
wood.
Stupa
at
the
back
Wat
Sadeu
Muang,
Chiang
Mai
The
stupa
at
Wat
Sadeu
Muang
is
believed
to
contain
the
relics
of
King
Mangrai.
According
to
the
local
legend
of
Chians
Mai
and
the
Yonok
Annals,
King
Mangrai
was
struck
by
lightning
and
died
when
he
was
in
the
city's
market,
where
a
stupa
was
later
built
by
Phraya
Chaiyasongkhram,
his
son,
to
contain
King
Mangrai's
ashes.
The
stupa
is
a
Lanna-style
bell-shaped
stupa
(resembles
the
principal
stupa
at
Phra
That
Harpunchai
in
Lamphum).
During
its
restoration,
traces
of
a
pavilion
stupa
were
found
inside
this
stupa.
The
pavilion
stupa
was
commonly
built
during
the
time
of
King
Mangrai,
which
corresponds
with
the
story
recorded
in
the
legend.
When
Wat
Sadeu
Muang
was
established
into
Wat
Inthakhin
Sadeu
Muans,
its
assembly
hall
was
also
restored
in
Lanna
style.
The
temple
is
one
of
the
most
important
historical
sites
and
most
often
visited
in
Chiang
Mai.
