Wat Chiang Man is an exceptional temple that holds significant historical and spiritual importance. It is the first temple built in Chiang Mai, dating back to 1296 when King Mangrai, the first king of the new Lanna Kingdom, created the city. The temple is an essential part of Chiang Mai's history and is a must-visit attraction for anyone interested in experiencing the rich cultural heritage of the region.

 

The Chedi Chang Lom is the oldest surviving structure of the temple, and legend has it that it marks the spot where King Mangrai slept during his time living there. The tower contains holy relics, and the impressive elephant statues on the base of the chedi make it a unique and impressive sight. 

The temple's four other structures include a main assembly hall, a smaller assembly hall, an ordination hall, and a library. These structures house several significant Buddha statues, including the Phra Kaew Khao or Crystal Buddha, which dates back to the 3rd Century.
