    South-west corner of the old town wall. It converts some message from the past and meanwhile, perfectly decorates the city.

    (Translated by Google) It is the southwest corner of the city wall of Chiang Mai Old Town. This place is called "Chain Goo Huang (แจ่งกู่ เฮือง)" in Northern Thai. "Chain (แจ่ง)" means "corner (มุม)", and in this case, in particular, refers to the defense facilities (bastions, bastions) installed on the walls. "Goo (กู่)" is a "grave tower" that enshrines the remains. "Fuan (เฮือง)" is a person's name. "Fuan" seems to be a corruption of "Luang (เรีอง)". Overall, it means "the corner of the tomb tower of Huan (Luang)". One of the sons of King Mangrai, who built the Lan Na dynasty and the capital of Chiang Mai, had a prince named Kunklua. This prince was the third son (youngest child) of King Mangrai. After seducing the princess of her brother, Prince Chaison Klam, he was relegated to the lord of a small city in the direction of Shan State, Myanmar by his father, King Mangrai. It is a kind of exile. When King Mangrai died in 1317, Prince Chaison Kram, who had been appointed ruler of Chen Rai, took over. After coming to Chiang Mai and completing the funeral of his father, King Chaison Kram left the rule of Chiang Mai to his son, Prince Chiang Phu, and returned to Chiang Rai (which means that he had Chiang Rai as his capital at this time). In 1319, Prince Kunklua, who had been relegated to the region, came to Chiang Mai with his army under the pretext of visiting the tomb of his father, King Mangrai. Prince Kunklua ambushed from Chiang Mai Gate and Suan Dok Gate and succeeded in seizing the city of Chiang Mai. Prince Saen Phu escaped from the Chang Puak Gate and fled to Chen Rai. King Chaison Kram was angry at his brother's rebellion and seizure of the city of Chiang Mai, and immediately sent a conquest army to Chiang Mai with his son, Prince Namtuwam, who was the ruler of Fern. Namtwam's army regained Chiang Mai and Prince Kunklua was arrested. The servants say they were executed. Prince Kunklua, who was taken prisoner, was put under house arrest in a place southwest of the city of Chiang Mai. At this time, a nobleman named Luang was appointed as the caretaker of the prince. This person, Luang, was a high-ranking aristocrat who had been hailed as "Moon (the chief of 10,000 people)" and lived here in a mansion after being appointed as the caretaker of the house arrested prince. That's right. It is said that he was also appointed as the manager of the bastion fort on the southwest corner of the wall and this area. Prince Kunklua lived under house arrest for about four years under the care of Luang, and died here in 1324. His older brother, King Chai Songkhla, held a funeral in Chiang Mai for his younger brother who died unfortunately. "Fuan" in the name of this bastion is this aristocrat named Luang. Since the southwest corner of the wall is called "Goo Huang (Huang's tomb)", it is probable that there was a tomb containing the remains of Luang in this area. For this reason, the southwest corner of the wall has come to be called the "Chain Goo Juan". By the way, this aristocrat named Luang has set up a plaza on the east side of his mansion. This square was called "Chien Luang Square". I don't know where this square was, but maybe it's around Nornbwakhart Park. In addition, the southwest corner of the city was considered to be the place that controls the ominousness of the city (กาลกิณี), and was thought to handle unclean things such as death and sin. This may be the reason why the rebel Prince Kunklua was imprisoned here. In addition, there is a castle gate called Swamprun Gate in this southwestern area, which was once used to carry the dead in the city out of the castle. Another name is "Gate of the Dead". The current "Chain Goo Juan" is based on the reconstruction of the first King Kawila of the Reconstruction Lanna dynasty at the end of the 18th century. It is not the original of the Mangrai era. From 2018 to 2019, a large-scale repair and maintenance project was carried out and it was rebuilt very beautifully. (Original) チェンマイ旧市街の城壁の南西の角です。 この場所のことを、北部タイ語で「チェーン・グー・フーアン(แจ่งกู่เฮือง)」と言います。「チェーン(แจ่ง)」は「角(มุม)」という意味で、この場合は特に、城壁に設置された防御施設(堡塁、稜堡)のことを指します。「グー(กู่)」は遺骨を祀った「墓塔」のこと。「フーアン(เฮือง)」は人名です。「フーアン」は「ルアン(เรีอง)」が転訛した言葉のようです。全体で「フーアン(ルアン)の墓塔の角」という意味になります。 ラーンナー王朝とチェンマイ都を築いたマンラーイ大王の息子の1人に、クンクルアという名の王子がいました。この王子はマンラーイ大王の三男(末子)でした。兄チャイソンクラーム王子の妃を誘惑したため、父マンラーイ大王によってミャンマー・シャン州方面の小都市領主に左遷されてしまいました。一種の流刑です。 1317年にマンラーイ大王が崩御すると、チェンラーイの統治者に任じられていたチャイソンクラーム王子がその跡を継ぎました。チャイソンクラーム王は、チェンマイに来て父王の葬儀を済ませると、チェンマイの統治を息子のセーンプー王子に任せ、チェンラーイに戻りました(この時期はチェンラーイを首都としていたということです)。 1319年、地方に左遷されていたクンクルア王子が、父マンラーイ大王の墓参という名目で、軍勢を率いてチェンマイにやって来ました。クンクルア王子は、チェンマイ門とスアンドーク門から奇襲かけて、チェンマイ都の奪取に成功します。セーンプー王子は、チャーンプアック門から脱出してチェンラーイへ逃げてゆきました。 チャイソンクラーム王は、弟が謀反を起こし、チェンマイ都を奪取したことに怒り、すぐさま、ファーンの統治者であった息子のナームトゥワム王子を大将とする征討軍をチェンマイに差し向けました。 ナームトゥワムの軍勢はチェンマイを奪還し、クンクルア王子は捕縛されました。家来たちは処刑されたと言います。 囚われの身となったクンクルア王子は、チェンマイ都の南西の場所に軟禁されてしまいました。この時、ルアンという名の貴族が王子の世話係に任じられていました。このルアンという人は、「ムーン(1万人の長)」という位に叙せられていた高位の貴族で、軟禁された王子の世話係に任命された後、ここに屋敷を設けて住まったそうです。城壁の西南の角の稜堡とこのエリアの管理者にも任じられていたと言います。 クンクルア王子は、ルアンの世話を受けながら4年ほどの軟禁生活を送り、1324年にここで亡くなりました。兄のチャイソンクラーム王は、不遇の死を遂げた弟のために、チェンマイで葬儀を執り行ったそうです。 この稜堡の名にある「フーアン」というのは、このルアンという貴族のことです。 城壁の西南の角が「グー・フーアン(フーアンの墓塔)」と呼ばれていることから、この辺りにルアンの遺骨を収めた墓があったものと考えられます。こうしたことから、城壁の西南の角は「チェーン・グー・フーアン」と呼ばれるようになりました。 ちなみに、このルアンという貴族は、自分の屋敷の東側に広場を設置しています。この広場は「チエン・ルアン広場」と呼ばれていました。この広場がどこにあったかは分かりませんが、もしかするとノーンブワックハート公園の辺りかもしれません。 なお、都市の南西の角は、都の不吉(กาลกิณี)をつかさどる場所とされ、死穢や罪業など、不浄なものを扱うところと考えられていました。謀反人のクンクルア王子がここに幽閉されたのも、このような理由からかもしれません。付言すると、この西南の地域にはスワンプルン門という城門がありますが、かつてこの城門は、都の中の死者を城外に運び出すために使われていました。別名を「死霊の門」と言います。 現在の「チェーン・グー・フーアン」は、18世紀の終わり頃に復興ラーンナー王朝の初代カーウィラ大王が再建したものがベースになっています。マンラーイ大王時代のオリジナルのものではありません。 2018年から2019年にかけて、大規模な修繕・整備事業が行われ、とても美しくつくり直されました。

    (Translated by Google) The ruins of a castle wall located in the southwest of the old town. It is said that the name comes from the fact that the bones of a person named Wan, who was captured by robbing the king's treasure, are buried. (Original) 旧市街、南西に位置する城壁の跡。 王の財宝を奪って捕まったウアンという人物の骨が埋まっているのが名前の由来だそうです。
