    Large modern building for the accommodation of monks with flowered archway entrance. Not too much to see on the site but nice Stupa and you can go inside the Assembly Hall which has a large Buddha Statue, plus smaller ones below. Also a nice little water feature (fountain) just before the entrance to the Hall.

    Love this temple! It's right in the middle of the city yet it feels as if you were in the countryside. Once you enter the courtyard, you're surrounded with a well maintained garden, Asian instrumental music plays in the background and all you want to do is just sit on a bench and relax. There's also free wifi and toilet, cheap smoothies and massage.

    (Translated by Google) This is one of the temples used for the royal throne in the latter part of the Lanna dynasty. The temple is mentioned in the memorial tradition of King Mekti, the last king of the Lanna dynasty, who took the throne in 1551. I don't know when it was built, but it may have been built around the first half of the 16th century. ”King Mekti took the throne and first changed into a white garment at Wat Phakao. Next, I went to a temple called Wat Moon Toum for three days and cleared it. ”Finally, at the temple called Wat Chet Rin opposite Wat Moon Toum, we performed“ Holy Water Spiral ”to pour pure water on the top of the head, and took the throne as King. By the way, the word “Pa Kao (ผ้า ขาว)” in the temple name means “white robe”. It was such a historic temple, but it was ruined sometime. I remember that it was close to an abandoned temple until around 1990. I think it was relatively recent, but it was revived and became the current temple. I think it would be nice to visit with Wat Chetlin and Wat Moon Toum. Wihan ’s Buddha Buddha is beautifully lit up colorfully. (Original) ここは、ラーンナー王朝時代の後期に、国王の即位儀式に使用された寺院の1つです。 1551年に即位したラーンナー王朝最後の国王であるメクティ王の即位式の伝承の中に、この寺院が言及されています。創建時期はよく分かりませんが、16世紀の前半期頃に建てられたのかもしれません。 メクティ王は、即位に当たり、まずこのワット・パーカーオで白い衣に着替えました。 次いで、ワット・ムーントゥームというお寺に3日のあいだ籠り、厄払いをしました。 最後に、ワット・ムーントゥームの向かいにあるワット・チェットリンというお寺で、清らかな水を頭の頂上にそそぐ「聖水潅頂」をおこない、国王として即位しました。 ちなみに、寺名の中にある「パー・カーオ(ผ้าขาว)」という言葉は「白衣」を意味します。 このような由緒のある寺院でしたが、いつしか荒廃してしまいました。1990年頃までは廃寺に近い状態だったように記憶しています。比較的最近のことかと思いますが、再興されて現在の寺院になりました。 ワット・チェットリン、ワット・ムーントゥームとともに訪れると良いかと思います。 ウィハーンの本尊大仏は、カラフルにライトアップされていて美しいです。

    After visiting so many temples in Chiang Mai, I passed by this one and decided to visit one more. First temple I felt peace! Very quiet, the construction work going on couldn’t disturb the peace inside the temple. A friendly monk came to talk to me, he taught me how to meditate: “focus on breathing in and breathing out”.

    Wat Phakhao is a peaceful temple with changing colored lights shining on the buddha statues in its main building. Mesmerizing and serene. As a bonus, it's right across from Bodhi Tree Cafe, an excellent veg restaurant and just around the corner from Taste From Heaven, another excellent veg restaurant.

    One of the Temples looking better it at night We were in Chiang Mai for 5 days last November for Yi Peng (Flying Lantern Festival) and Loy Krathong (Floating Lantern Festival), and we had planned a 3 day Temple circuit in the Old City. We had pin pointed the most famous ones like Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara and Wat Phra Singh which are truly amazing and inside the Old City, meaning you don't need a cab to go there like Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. This Temple was not planned at all and therefore may be called a hidden gem: it is not famous nor visited by tourists. We just happened to find it on our way back to our hotel every night when we were coming back from the city center. And night is exactly the right time to visit it. I have attached several pictures, hoping to give kind of a feeling of this place... Actually, and following this experience with this Temple, I would recommend double visits to the Temples, if you can afford the time and the effort of course, and if they are opened at night: the atmosphere and the sights are really different. The silence, the darkness combined with bright lights and smooth illumination of the building makes the atmosphere almost magical. Something very special or even surreal by all means, a totally different experience.

    (Translated by Google) The second richest man in Chiang Rai, currently 65 years old, lives nearby. Because he likes painting very much, he painted this temple and the surrounding is slowly followed by wealthy. The painter is full of imagination, above the big mouth in the temple, all It is a cartoon character, and there are also Lu Dongbin and Sun Wukong next to the artificial waterfall behind it. There are also a million gold toilets. What is more worthy of being, he even covered the place where he put the ashes after a hundred years, and at the back of the temple, it’s awesome. (Original) 清萊第二首富,目前65歲,居住在附近,因為很喜歡畫畫,所以畫了這間廟,週邊也慢慢的跟著富裕,這畫家充滿了想像力,廟裏面的大嘴巴上方,全部都是卡通人物,而且後面人工瀑布旁邊也有呂洞賓也有孫悟空,也有百萬黃金廁所,更配服的是,他連他百年之後放骨灰的地方也蓋好了在廟的後方,總歸一句,真是厲害
