    I have had the opportunity to come to Chiang Saen many times but have not come to worship the Buddha here..This time I came to attend a white ceremony. Dam therefore had the opportunity to come and pay homage to the Buddha and make merit. Inside the temple are the Chiang Saen City Pillar and Phra Chao Lan Thong that people respect. Not far from the market. The area is spacious but still doesn't look clean and beautiful to the eye. If we take this issue out, there won't be a problem.

    (Translated by Google) It is a very beautiful temple. It is near the Mekong River at Chiang Saen and opposite the Chiang Saen Museum. (Original) เป็นวัดท่สวยงามมาก อยู่ใกล้แม่น้ำโขงที่เชียงแสนและอยู่เยื้องกับพิพิธภัณฑ์เชียงแสน.

    According to the Chronicle of Yonok, the temple was founded 500 years ago, but only the Lan Thong Buddha statue dates back to that time. The main Vihara hall and other parts of the temple were renovated a few decades ago. Despite being named "Lan Thong," which means "made of one million grams of gold," the statue is actually made of a five-metal alloy called Sam Rit in Thai. This Buddha statue is an original and exceptional work of art that deserves respect and admiration when visiting Chiang Saen.
