    Not to be missed temple in the centre of town. Wat Saen Fang is possibly the best of those temples not in Chiang Mai's 'A list' - which are now mostly pay-to-go anyway. Situated on the corner of Thapae Road and Chang Moi Tud Mai Road, halfway between Thapae Gate and the River Ping, it occupies a good area, and contains many buildings of interest. There are entrances from no less than three different roads, and plenty of room for parking. There are a number of buildings within the grounds, plus gardens, statues, ornaments, and many other things of interest. The Thapae Road entrance has Nagas guarding it, and a magnificent long corridor to the main courtyard. Many interesting and amusing gardens. So central that you can't miss it, and shouldn't. Highly recommended.

    Nice quiet temple not overrun by tourists. Its a nice place to take a short break while enjoying the peaceful atmosphere inside. They even have a cooler with free drinking water inside.

    My place. Beautiful pagoda hidden near the hectic area of local market yet serene. You almost get this beyond time feeling on a good lighting day... Photoshoot here is not a bad idea at all.

    Wat Saen Fang is a Buddhist Temple in ChiangMai, Thailand. The temple is also noted for its Burmese-style ‘Chedi’, is a fusion of Burmese and Lanna Styles. Located between the Warrorot Market and towards Thapae Road.

    Nice old temple where you very rarely see any tourists. It's very quiet here. It makes a good shortcut from the Chiang Moi road to the Tha Pae road avoiding the traffic. It' has lots of atmosphere.

    This temple seems to be off the tourist trail, set back off Tha Phae Road, through a gate and up a path to the temple buildings. There was a worship service going on when we walked in and hearing the monks' chants in the quiet surroundings was quite an experience.

    Wat Saen Fang is a decent temple, with some parts under construction. Notice the unique female statues serving as guards around parts of the temple. Please note, women are not allowed in one specific area.

    We cannot see gold colored pagoda, symbol of this small temple because the pagoda is under construction. No entrance fee. There was dress code.

    The façade is intricate and well decorated. Pillars and statues are brilliant. The ambience is quiet.
