Pay homage to Phra Chao To, a beautiful Burmese-style temple in the middle of Chiang Mai.

#BeautifulTemplesAroundThailand Wat Mahawan is located on Thapae Road in the heart of Chiang Mai. Wat Mahawan is a temple that embraces Burmese art, just like other temples in Chiang Mai, such as Wat Saen Fang, Wat Pa Pao, and Wat Buppharam. This temple, which shows the influence of Burmese architecture, is beautiful and worth a visit. Most of the art is Burmese, from the arches, entrance doors, Burmese-style pagodas, native Lanna-style chapels with tiered roofs on both the front and back, gables, and upper parts decorated with beautiful wood carvings. Phra Chao To or Wihan Luang enshrines a Buddha statue, or what the locals call “Phra Chao To.” #wattosann
