The loyalty of Thai people is unquestionable. This monumental figure will tell you how much they loves their King. Located in the central part of the City, you won't miss it especially night fall with brightly lighting around this area.

King Mengrai Monument is a highly revered shrine for the great king of the Lanna Kingdom. Every day there are a great many offerings made at this shrine. So many that they have a full time crew removing all offerings after a certain period of time to make room for the next offerings. On holidays this area can become quite busy. For photography I suggest returning several time during the day to appreciate the level of activity and not to be in too much of a hurry.

I walked past this place on my way to the OK craft beer place. It's a nice place. Worth the visit. As other people have said, early morning or just as the sun is setting is a good time to be here. Just be careful of the traffic here, it's quite a busy junction

In accordance with the culture. Get attention.

Nice monument to have a look at in the centre of town. The meeting point for the free city tour is just behind it and needs a minimum of 6 people to go ahead. The tour was great and brings you to the major free spots in the city. 10-15 min stops at each one. The tour isn't all in English but it didn't bother us.

It is a must visit for us, we come here when we can to show respect and appreciation for the past King, who has contributed to the society in the Northern Thailand region.

King Mangrai Today I came back to Thailand to pay respects to my family's ancestors. I feel very happy.

Great to visit to do merit and it's located on the middle of the road . History is fantastic too.

Very nice place to visit, amazing at night when all the lights are on important place for Thai people to pray 🙏 well worth a visit free entry for visitors

Free city tour was really cool. Located behind here at the tourist information center.

I happened to visit this place on the eve of Magha puja. They had a ritual going on. People were worshiping and lighting incense sticks and offering flowers. It is a small park kind of, with statues. No tickets required to enter.

It feels good to pay respect to the king who had founded the town of Chiangrai. His softly smiling face is a consolation to me.

Many come here in search of help and good fortune. All the small statues and items in the area are gifts given to the King Mangrai by those that manage to accomplish what they were seeking for.

A place where the locals worship their late king

Nice square, but right on a very busy intersection and not in the nicest neighborhood

The statue itself is not that spectacular, but there is a booth for city tour and also quiet interesting to read about the part of history.

Nice to go at night.

A monument to the founder of Chiang Rai. I was there on a cloudy day so the lighting wasn't good to convey how colorful the place is. So many offerings were made to this king, even as early as 10 AM when I arrived.

King Meng Rai monument, another photo spot when you come to Chiang Rai. He is memorable person for Thai people. He protected Chiang Rai from the war when another countries over 700 years ago. #LittaStyleReview

kings monument is the most important square in the heart of ChiangvRai city. the kings statue is worshipped by the thai people like god. the square is well maintained and the junction is always busy. the spot could have been ideal to watch the sun rise but the view towards east is spoilt by two giant bill boards. the topiaries at the monument are beautifully designed. the garden is well maintained. you can shop for souvenirs here. also there are seven eleven shops on the both sides. in the evening you can enjoy street food around the monument.
