Wat Chang Taem

Tourist attraction Buddhist temple

😐 Interested to see a Buddhist teaching class in progress when I arrived. Not too much to see on this site, but the Assembly Hall is open and worth viewing. Beautiful gold inlays on the window shutters of this building. People often mention beautiful,

    Today we went to all the temple's in Chiang Mai. In one word just beautiful but you've to see them for your self. The best one was for sure Wat Chedi Luang. Only at this you've to pay 40 bath entry fee when most of them are free. Still worth it though. In some of temple's women are not allowed to go inside like in the Silver temple but still you can watch from the outside. The surroundings are also very beautiful.

    There are many temples in Chiang Mai, but this is one of my favorites. It is also off the beaten track from most tourist programs, making for a quieter more peaceful visit. One of 75 temples located inside the Old City, this one is popular with locals and Buddhist devotees in particular, as it contains the Fon Saen Ha Buddha which is over 1,000 years old. The temple meaning translates as “10,000 drops of rain” and it plays a central role in the annual Lak Mueang festival or Inthakhin Festival, when the Chiang Mai city pillar, which is kept in Wat Chei Luang, is venerated. Worth adding to your must visit places, particularly early mornings.

    The wat is across from my language school, so I often walk in front the wat. It’s really giant and beautiful. But I didn’t have visit it. I’m going to visit there inside and take some good photo in the future.

    Not as special as the other temples on this road. Still worth seeing if you are passing by

    a beautiful Temple on your way to Wat Shedi Luang We were in Chiang Mai for 5 days last November for Yi Peng and Loy Krathong (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 amazing, and we were on our way from our hotel to this last one which is just a few hundred meters from it There are endless beautiful Temples in the Old City of Chiang Mai and this one, although not in the top 5 famous ones, was however a beautiful one to stop by. I'll attach a few pictures that I hope will make you feel like visiting this one as well.

    Very close to city center which makes it worth stopping by, but it’s not anything special compared to some others.

    Wat Chang Taem offers massage now. Seems reasonable but haven't tried

    Wat Chang Taem means “the Temple of 10,000 drops of rain”. It is the home of the Fon Saen Ha Buddha which is over 1,000 years old. The temple itself is not of outstanding interest, except for the old Buddha image, containing a viharn and a chedi, so many people will walk past it.

    One of many temples in this area. This one is a mid sized one.
