    The Southern gate where the Saturday Night Market will be held. Just a passing historical site when you visit the market on Saturday night or when you going to Nong Buak Hard Public Park.

    Nice old wall with neat flower arrangement on the south side. It's on the south side of the city in the middle of the moat. It's best to view it from the south side as then you can see the flower beds and trimmed trees in animal shapes

    It was a bit hard getting a clear picture, as the gate is located by an intersection between different roads: definitely worth having a stroll by the old moat though

    Beautiful and quiet gate but I hope the authorities will do something about pedestrians road crossing lights as it is pretty dangerous crossing the road from one side to the other side especially when almost one out of 5 bikers or Tuk Tuk drivers are driving in a wrong way of the road just to make it faster to get to their destination.

    (Translated by Google) Saen Pung Gate or Suan Prung Gate is a gate that penetrates the inner wall of the southern side, newly built in the reign of The three-sided Phaya Phaya Because during the reign of King Rama I built the Rajaghat Kedi Chedi, so for the convenience of the royal mother who was staying at the palace outside the city wall in the south, it was convenient to come to pay homage to the pagoda. Therefore he gave to penetrate the wall of that city And named the Garden of Rae later because the area was used to kill the prisoners. Using the spear-piercing pung (Pung), the villagers therefore called Suan Pung Gate or Saen Pung Gate. Since the past, Chiang Mai has a tradition that if there is a death within the city wall of Chiang Mai Must take the body from the city through this door only Which still adheres to this tradition until today Characteristics / Highlights Is a city wall that is important to the province and history. Chiang Mai is a brick wall (Original) ประตูแสนปุง หรือ ประตูสวนปรุง เป็นประตูที่เจาะกำแพงชั้นในด้านใต้สร้างขึ้นใหม่ในรัชสมัย พญาสามฝั่งแกน เนื่องจากในรัชสมัยของพระองค์ได้สร้างเจดีย์ราชกุฏคารขึ้น ดังนั้น เพื่อความสะดวกแก่พระราชชนนีที่โปรดประทับอยู่ที่ตำหนักนอกกำแพงเมืองด้านทิศใต้จะได้ทรงสะดวกในการเสด็จมาสักการะพระเจดีย์ จึงทรงโปรดให้เจาะกำแพงเมืองด้านนั้น และตั้งชื่อว่า ประตูสวนแร ต่อมาเนื่องจากบริเวณนั้นเป็นที่ใช้ประหารนักโทษ ใช้หอกหลาวทิ่มแทงปุง (พุง) ชาวบ้านจึงเรียกว่าประตูสวนปุง หรือ ประตูแสนปุง นับแต่อดีต เชียงใหม่มีประเพณีที่ว่าหากมีการเสียชีวิตภายในเขตกำแพงเมืองเชียงใหม่ จะต้องนำศพออกจากตัวเมืองผ่านทางประตูนี้เท่านั้น ซึ่งก็ยังยึดถือประเพณีนี้อยู่จนถึงปัจจุบัน ลักษณะความสำคัญ/จุดเด่น เป็นกำแพงเมืองที่มีความสำคัญกับจังหวัดและประวัติศาสตร์เมืองเชียงใหม่เป็นกำแพงที่ก่อสร้างด้วยอิฐ

  • 4/5 Ken'ichi F. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) One of the two gates (Platu) on the south side of Chiang Mai Old Town. It is also called “Saepun Gate (ประตู แสน ปุ ง)” and “Suanprun Gate (ประตู สวน ปรุง)”. The Sapung Gate did not exist yet when it was created in 1296 when Manmai was built by Chiang Mai. In the days of King Manrai, there seemed to be only one gate on the south side of the city. This gate was established during the time of King Sam Fang Kan, the 8th King of the Lanna dynasty. It was in the first half of the 15th century. This Queen of Sam Fang Kaen ’s mother, Queen Tirocachuk, lived in a palace outside the city. It is a place called Suanhee Village, which is said to be around the current Swanpurun Hospital. The Great Stupa was erected in Wat Chedi Luang during the reign of the seventh king, King Saen Muam, to provide the spirit of the sixth Kuhner king of the Lanna dynasty. However, the Great Stupa was not completed during the lifetime of King Seung Muang due to construction difficulties, and King Sam Fang Kan, who took the throne as the 8th King, took over. However, it was difficult to take charge of the national affairs by himself, as King Sam Fang Kane took the throne in the early teens. I was also unable to direct and oversee the construction of the Great Stupa. For this reason, the commander / director of the construction of the Great Stupa will be undertaken by King Sam Fang Kaeng's mother (* Wasen of King Saenmuammar who passed away without seeing the completion of the stupa). The mother had more opportunities to go from his palace to Wat Chedi Luang, but at this time there was only the Chiang Mai Gate on the south side of the city, so it took time to move. So King Sam Fang Khan ordered that a new gate be installed on the south wall to make it easier for the mother to move. It must have been a filial piety of the young king. A new gate was created in front of my mother's palace. The gate was named “Suanhee Gate”. It is the current Seungpun Gate. The Suanhee Gate has made it possible for mothers to quickly enter the capital city without going to Chiang Mai Gate and to Wat Chedi Luang in less time than before. This gate was once called the “Praito-Pi”. In the old days, when the dead appeared in the city, the dead body was carried out of the city from this gate and a funeral was performed. For this reason, it was commonly called "Death Relic Gate". The reason why the corpse was carried out from here was because the southwestern area of ​​Chiang Mai was thought to be the place that governed the city's filth and sin. Therefore, when carrying out the corpse, it was considered that it is better to start from this area. This idea seems to have spread to northern Thailand, and is confirmed not only in the Lanna area, but also in Sukhothai and Kamphaeng pets. It is thought that this gate was later used after the installation of the corpse in the Miyakonojo. The initial purpose of this gate was to make it easier for the King's mother to move, so it seems that at that time it was not considered to be used to remove the corpse. It is presumed that it was later in the 15th century that it was used as the "Death Gate". There is always a god guarding the gate at the castle gate in Chiang Mai, but there is no god of the guard at this gate. I don't know why, but maybe it used to be. The disappearance of the monkey god may be related to the fact that this is now called the “Death Gate”. (Original) チェンマイ旧市街の南側に設けられた2つの門(プラトゥー)のうちの1つです。「セープン門(ประตูแสนปุง)」とも「スワンプルン門(ประตูสวนปรุง)」とも呼ばれています。 セープン門は、1296年にマンラーイ王によってチェンマイが建都された時につくられた時には、まだ存在していませんでした。マンラーイ王の時代は、都城の南側には1つの門しかなかったようです。この門が設置されたのは、ラーンナー王朝の第8代国王であるサームファンケーン王の時代でした。15世紀前半のことです。 このサームファンケーン王の母ティローカチュック王妃は、都城外の宮殿に住んでいたそうです。それはスアンヘー村と呼ばれる場所で、現在のスワンプルン病院の辺りであると言われています。 第7代国王であるセーンムアンマー王の治世期に、ラーンナー王朝第6代クーナー王の霊を供養するため、ワット・チェディルワンにおいて大仏塔が建立されました。しかし、大仏塔は、工事の難航などによってセーンムアンマー王の存命中には完成せず、第8代国王として即位したサームファンケーン王がこれを引き継ぐことになりました。 しかし、サームファンケーン王が即位したのはまだ十代前半の頃のことでしたので、国事を自力で担うことは難しい状況にありました。大仏塔の建設工事についても、自分で指揮・監督することはできませんでした。このため、大仏塔建立の指揮・監督はサームファンケーン王の母親(※仏塔の完成を見ずに亡くなったセーンムアンマー王の妻[側室])が引き受けることになりました。 母親は、自分の住まう宮殿からワット・チェディルワンまで出向く機会が増えたのですが、この時はまだ都の南側にはチェンマイ門しかなかったので、移動に時間がかかりました。そこで、サームファンケーン王は、母親の移動を楽にするために、南側の城壁に新たな門を設置するよう命じました。年少の国王の精一杯の親孝行だったのでしょう。新しい門は母の宮殿の前に当たる場所につくられました。門は「スアンヘー門」と名付けられました。現在のセーンプン門です。 スアンヘー門ができたことによって、母親は、チェンマイ門まで遠回りせずにすぐに都城内に入ることができ、以前よりも短時間でワット・チェディルワンに行くことができるようになりました。 この門は、かつて「死霊門(プラトゥー・ピー)」とも呼ばれていました。昔は、都の中に死者が出ると、この門から死体を都の外に運び出して葬送儀礼をおこなっていました。こうしたことから「死霊門」と通称されていました。なぜここから死体を運び出したのかというと、それは、チェンマイ都の南西エリアは都市の不浄や不吉をつかさどる場所と考えられていたからです。よって、死体を運び出す際には、この方角のエリアからするのが良いと見做されました。このような考え方は、タイ北部に広がっていたようで、ラーンナー地域だけでなく、スコータイやカムペーンペットでも確認されるそうです。 この門を都城内の死体の搬出に使用するようになったのは、この門が設置されてから後のことであると考えられます。この門がつくられた当初の目的は、サームファンケーン王の母親の移動を便利にするためでしたから、その時点ではここを死体の搬出に使うことは考えられていなかったと思われます。「死霊門」として使われるようになったのは、15世紀後半以降のことかと推察されます。 チェンマイ都の城門には必ず門を守護する神さまがいるのですが、このセーンプン門だけには門衛の神さまがいません。その理由はよく分かりませんが、もしかすると、かつてはいたのかもしれません。門衛神がいなくなったのは、ここが「死霊門」とされるようになったことと関係しているのかもしれません。

    If I didn't visit the Chiang Mai arts and cultural center, I'd think that there're 4 gates. Each on 4 directions in Chiang Mai old town. This's the fifth gate.
