Huagong Temple is a temple with a mix of Burmese and Lanna styles. It is not large in scale, but has complete "five internal organs". This is also the filming location of the movie "Thailand", which has become famous all over the world since the movie was hit. The architectural details of the temple are meticulously crafted. The corners on every eaves, the carvings on every porch, the ornaments on every Buddha statue, and the small wind chimes hanging on the pagoda are all exquisite and brilliant. Because the temple was originally a virgin forest and wild beasts appeared, the animal carvings in the temple are of various types, and the shapes are realistic and attractive.

The Buppharam Temple in Chiang Mai.
The weather in Chiang Mai is really nice. As long as it doesn't rain, the sky looks like it has a filter on it. Today, I visited the Buppharam Temple, which is several hundred years old and has free admission. I strolled around, exchanged some money, and then went to eat Northern Thai curry noodles, known in Thai as 'Khao Soi' (ข้าวซอย). It's incredibly delicious, with chicken being my favorite, followed by beef. The flavors are so rich that I almost swallowed the bones. After eating my fill, I walked back to Tha Phae Gate and then headed home!

The filming location of the movie 'Lost in Thailand' - Wat Buppharam
Many years ago, the movie 'Lost in Thailand' made this Wat Buppharam, also known as the Flower Palace Temple, famous overnight. Travelers would think of visiting it, and although I didn't plan to go there specifically, I happened to pass by on my way to the Sunday night market. It seems I was fated to visit, so I decided to take a look. As soon as I stepped through the gates, I was immediately surprised to see a 'Donald Duck' statue on the lawn in front of the temple hall! Yes, the very one from the American cartoons. Is Buddhist culture so open and understanding? It's hard to imagine placing a Mickey Mouse in Beijing's Yonghe Temple without the lamas rushing out to chase me , to be honest, I can hardly remember the plot of the movie, but after walking around the temple, I still have to admire the superb skills of the architects at that time, especially an ancient pagoda built in a Burmese style. Although it's somewhat dilapidated, its majesty remains. Since it was already evening and most of the tourists had left, the tranquility of the temple was broken by a few young monks draped in yellow robes. As they watered the ancient trees, they laughed and frolicked, and I had a sudden realization. Why impose so many rules and restrictions on life? Just like those young monks, though they have entered the Buddhist order, they naturally do not adhere to any one form. Perhaps this is the true essence of Buddhism.

Chiang Mai | The Wat Buppharam, sought after in the movie 'Lost in Thailand', why is there a Donald Duck?
'Lost in Thailand' has been many years ago.
But it still remains one of my favorite domestic movies.
So visiting that temple was entirely due to a certain sentiment.
I remember a scene that struck me at the time
was the presence of a Donald Duck in the temple.
I always wanted to know why.
Today, after asking the monks in the temple, I finally learned
that there is a Buddhist school for children inside the temple.
To better integrate the children into the temple life,
they added Donald Duck and many other cartoon elements.
Having found the answer,
I took another moment to appreciate this Burmese-style garden temple.
It has been over 300 years.
One cannot help but marvel,
how centuries fly by in an instant.
Cherish the present.
So I made a call to my family...
🛕Name: Wat Buppharam
📍Address: 143 Tha Phae Road, Tambon Chang Moi, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50300
🚗Parking available
🎫20 Thai Baht. But when I entered, no one was collecting it, nor did I see any signs for automatic coin insertion🪧
💃I am a parent of a child named Xiao Mai, who likes to travel with children, hike, camp, and engage in aesthetic education and creation with them. I like to share valuable information and creative inspiration with other moms, and I enjoy walking this warm journey with you.

Thailand Travel | Does anyone still remember the 'Lost in Thailand' temple? - Wat Buppharam in Chiang Mai
Wat Buppharam in Chiang Mai
วัดบุพพาราม เชียงใหม่
Founded in 1497, the temple is most famous for its Lanna-style ordination hall built in 1819, made of teak wood and decorated with glass mosaics, and the Burmese-style stupa rebuilt in 1958.
It became well-known among Chinese tourists because of the movie 'Lost in Thailand' and is referred to as the 'Lost in Thailand' temple. My first visit coincided with the movie's popularity, and the small temple was packed with Chinese tour groups.
In fact, it was just an ordinary temple among the many in Chiang Mai's old city. On my second visit, I found the entire temple deserted except for myself, which was a stark reminder of how times change.
🙏 Address: 143 Tha Phae Road, Tambon Chang Moi, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50300
🎫 20 Thai Baht. However, no one was collecting the fee when I entered, and I saw no signs for donations, which shows the Thai people's laid-back approach to life.
📷 Visiting tips: In Thailand, temples are not just tourist attractions but also sacred places. Therefore, when you visit, please be sure to respect the local religious customs and regulations, dress appropriately, remember to take off your shoes before entering the ordination hall, and keep your voice down, regardless of the crowd, to maintain the tranquil atmosphere of the temple.

📍"Wat Buppharam", an ancient temple in Chiang Mai that those who believe in the supernatural should not miss.
Wat Buppararam is another temple that the Mu line should not miss. It is located on Thapae Road, not far from Waroros Market. According to history, it is an ancient temple that King Muang Kaew, the 12th king of the Lanna Dynasty of the Mangrai Dynasty, ordered to be built in 2039 and renovated in 2362. Chiang Mai people like to come to worship and ask for blessings at this temple. The large chapel downstairs is like a museum, collecting many hard-to-find dhamma chests. The upper part enshrines the Buddha's relics. The most popular place to worship is Phra Phuttha Nares Sakchai Phairin Pinat, a large teak Buddha statue that is about 400 years old, because it is believed that it will make obstacles disappear. There is also the Emerald Buddha to worship and ask for blessings. Around the temple, there is also a sacred well and the Sala Phra Chao Tan Jai. You can get everything in one place.
This temple is a popular place for Chinese people because it was the filming location for the movie Lost in Thailand.

Outside th
Outside the ancient city of Chiang Mai, the "Taiwan" filming temple is revealed.
Bupopa is a legendary temple with royal glory. This can be seen from the Thai Emperor IX badge of the temple. Of course, the important thing here is that the Jade Buddha is a replica of the Grand Palace in Bangkok, and one of the Buddhas here is made of the same piece of material from the Grand Palace of Bangkok, so it is full of divine power. There are three reasons why you can't miss it at Bhopalan Temple:
1. Donald Duck. Almost all maps have the opportunity to see this famous Donald Duck, and it is now the most well-known mascot of the Bhopa Temple.
2. The Buddha relic, which is dedicated to Buddha relics from all over the world, comes from China, the most amazing of which is the Buddha's colorful gemstone Buddha relic, which is definitely not to be missed.
3. Thai baht. Here is the location of the baht that is uncompromising. Even the staff in the temple heard that we are from China and we are passionate about introducing the scene where Wang Baoqiang was playing here. Of course, the only reason many people come here is to find the scene of the Thai baht in memory. The architecture of the
Bupago Temple blends both Burmese and Lanna styles and has a history of more than 300 years. After entering the monastery, you will find that the biggest feature of this temple is fusion; there are all kinds of sculptures scattered in the courtyard. In addition to the famous Donald Duck, there are small dolls and small animals, it has to be said to be a very cute temple. .
In the movie "Thai", Xu Wei said here to the locals: I want wo find Mr Zhou, and then was mistakenly brought here. If you dont want to go to traditional attractions in Chiang Mai, you can come here and see!

This is a
This is a very intimate and loving temple, where the Dai and Burmese cultures are reflected in this temple. Buparan Temple was the location of the smash hit "Thailand". The temple on the photo that Xu Wei was looking for was it, so it was also one of the punching spots for domestic tourists coming to Chiang Mai.
Wat Bubparam's main hall is splendid, small in size, but very beautiful. In particular, the architectural details are even more elaborate. The hooks on each eave, the carvings on each porch, the ornaments on each Buddha statue, and the wind chimes on the hanging pagoda are all delicate and unusual. Out of color.
Removing the light of "Thai", I also like this lovely temple myself. There are many sculptures of animals and villains in the temple; there is also a Donald Duck in front of the main hall.
This is also a temple that comes twice. The change is that it starts to charge after 2016, but 20B is very cheap.
