Walk, take photos, worship Buddha, pray | Wat Phan Tao | Chiang Mai

Wat Phan Tao or Wat Pan Tao was built in 1934 and is a contemporary temple of Wat Chedi Luang Worawihan. This is because it used to be the sanctuary of Wat Chotikaram (Wat Chedi Luang Worawihan). There is a legend about the origin of Chiang Mai during the Lua period that says "A wealthy man lived in the middle of the city. These five people were named Millionaire Pan Tao. They established a compound according to the words of Chao Rasi." Therefore, it is assumed that Wat Phan Tao was the home of the wealthy man in the past. Later, Wat Phan Tao was established during the reign of King Saen Mueang. Another legend says that it was originally the site of a thousand kilns for smelting gold to cast the Attharot Buddha image, which was enshrined in the chapel of Wat Chedi Luang. When the casting of the Buddha image was complete, the townspeople built a temple in that area called Wat Phan Tao. Coordinates: Located in Phra Singh Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai Province, the temple is on a land area of ​​2 rai, 3 ngan, and 86 square wa. #Traveling around Thailand #Thailand #Missing nature #Thailand #Northeastern team #Beautiful temples around Thailand #Beautiful temples #Wat Phan Tao #Chiang Mai #Visit Chiang Mai #Chiang Mai is worth visiting #Chiang Mai Thailand #Buddhism #Beautiful places to take photos #Merit-making #Don't miss out on merit-making #Worship and ask for blessings #Worship #Make merit and worship #Worship in Chiang Mai #Worship trip #Chiang Mai review #Where to go in Chiang Mai
