    Wat Ket Karam was built in 1428 during the Phra Jao Sam Fang Kaen era. Around the temple there is the Ket Kaew Chura Manee pagoda which is worshipped by the community and an old market of the Chinese community. Located along the Ping River, in this temple there is a museum that exhibits antiques and old photos that are hard to find which tell the story of the Chiang Mai city as well.

    Be honest, I parked the car here and walk to Cake shop. Don’t do that. I found that the temple attract my feeling by shady, Calm, not crowded. I noticed there are local people came here with peaceful mind ( Believe me , I feel that) I found that this place was very old temple more than 400 years ago. I recommended that you should come and spend a bit time here. They also have the museum. Highly recommended

    Peaceful and calm. It is famous for the person who was born in the year of the dog in Thailand. Pay respect to the stupa. There are many gorgeous buildings to see.

    Small temple but rich with history. Look at the details in each building...they show, how the artists worship their craft work and their believe. We visit the place to pick up our luck a bit, I do pray out loud one time and I think the luck do work for one day, well, other day another story, right.

    Beautifully maintained 15th Century temple. In a small compound. If you are born in the year of the dog ... this is your temple. Enchanting spot if you want to hear monks chanting in the evenings.

    Love this place, as it's so authentic Lannan, yet no so touristy as those, much bigger and impressive, temples in the city center.

    This is a neat temple across the river Ping from the old city. There are several good places to eat near this temple. Good place to stop and rest.

    Wat gategaram museum; If you want local history, this is it. Wat gategaram museum is in the grounds of Wat Ket, and is also known as Wat Ket museum. It is one of those disorganized museums, just stuffed with old memorabilia related to the area. There is probably the largest collection of historic photographs of the area here, together with old gramaphone records, cameras, animal skulls, clothes and furniture. In fact, you name it and it's probably here. Much of it can be dismissed, but you sure can have fun viewing this place. Highly recommended. And if you're in the vicinity, this area is one of the oldest areas of Chiang Mai and well worth exploring. It is across the Ping river (by pedestrian bridge) from Warorot Market.

    One of Chiang Mai old temple. The temple architecture is in Thai Lanna style. The buddha statue in the temple is beautiful. There are many place in the temple for buddhist people to pray , light candles and incense. When you look around you will see lots of buddhist angel staute which Thai people believe that they guarded the temple. The temple only had some parking space which is always crowded on the buddhist holiday.

    Wat Gate is very worth temple to visit. The location is in the east bank of the Ping river, across from Chiang Mai city center. There is the eclectic collection museum inside the temple too.

    Great old temple where lots of people come to visit locals and non local thais. There is a school in the compound. The temple located in the artsy area by Ping river. A good place and area to check out shops and cafes nearby. Highly recommended.

    This temple is an old temple and has a long history. If you have already visited the temple, don't forget to enter the museum which is inside the temple. You'll find that this place is considered an archaeological site and has ancient artifacts on display in the museum.

    The architecture are fantastic indeed! The place might get busy in the evening as well as during the weekend and public holidays. You might find many tourists compare to locals during certain time. Might want to avoid this area if you would like to be surrounded with locals.

    Beautiful temples opposite the Waroros freash market just walk across the bridge. A lot of cute dog walk around. Good vibes.
