Wat Chiang Man travel guide

The oldest temple in Chiang Mai

Built in 1306 by King Mangrai, Wat Chiang Man is the home of the famous Crystal Buddha - legend says that it has the power to protect against disaster. Though the statue itself is barely 4 inches high, its base and canopy pack a punch, weighing in at over 14 pounds. Another Buddha in the temple, the Marble Buddha, is said to have the power to bring rain; this is celebrated every year during the Songkran festival.
