Wat Chaimongkol (Rim Ping) This temple is not crowded. In our opinion, if you really want to make merit, we recommend coming here because it is not a business temple (personal opinion). Because the villagers come to help with the temple work. The monks also dig the soil, plant trees, and repair things. They do it themselves. I saw it with my own eyes. Inside, there is a memorial to King Rama V and a pavilion of Pu Chok and Pu Chai. They sell fish, birds, frogs, and turtles to release in the Ping River on the other side of the temple. There is a charity for cows and buffaloes. There is a merit-making ceremony for tiles. The temple has been around for about 600-700 years. The villagers said that there are no amulets for sale at this temple. Because those who come to pray to Phra Phuttha Chaimongkol are like receiving good fortune with them. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Note: There is a boat parked at the temple pier. It offers a trip down the Ping River to see the view and atmosphere. But we didn't get on one so we didn't ask the price. Note: If you are hungry, stand by the river and look across from the temple. You will see noodles with dangling legs. When you drive out of the temple to eat, everything you order is really delicious. I will post a review again. History Originally, it was a Mon temple called Wat Ma Le or Wat Ma Leing, which means "bright dawn" or "dawn". Later, the name was changed to Wat Chai Mongkol during the reign of King Rama V. It has a unique and distinctive Mon-style pagoda on a recessed base. The ordination hall was built on top of the viharn, making the ordination hall and viharn become one building. There is a Phra Phuttha Chai Mongkol in the Mara-Vijaya posture made of brick or lacquered and gilded as the principal Buddha image in the viharn. The temple is located on the east side, next to the Ping River. Therefore, it is a temple where tourists and visitors to Chiang Mai come to make merit by releasing fish, turtles, frogs, shellfish, and birds to escape suffering, sorrow, disease, and danger, so that they can flow with the Ping River for good fortune in life. #BreatheFreshAir#TravelEveryDay#VisitThaiTemples#ChiangMai #PingRiver #WatChaiMongkol

Ayutthaya slapped me in the face with history—in the best way possible. Just an hour from Bangkok, this ancient capital is where crumbling temple ruins meet insanely good street food. Here's how to time-travel like a pro (without the corset). Secret Spot: The Temple You Can Climb While tourists mob Wat Mahathat (the famous Buddha head in tree roots), sneak over to Wat Chaiwatthanaram at golden hour. I had the whole riverside ruin to myself, climbing narrow staircases to perch on 400-year-old laterite towers as the sky turned pink. Pro tip: Wear sturdy sandals—ancient stairs don’t do flip-flops. 👑✨ Foodie Must: The Boat Noodle Challenge At a canalside shack, I ordered boat noodles so dark and rich they looked like motor oil. The auntie grinned as she dumped in six types of pork parts (ear? intestine? delicious mystery?). The broth was sweet, spicy, and gone in 60 seconds. Bonus: Bowls are tiny—order five like a local. 🍜💦 Oops Moment: The Bike vs. Monkey Incident Renting a bicycle (50 baht!) seemed genius… until I pedaled straight into a gang of macaques near Wat Phra Ram. One jumped on my handlebars, stole my banana, and gave me a look that said "tourist please." I biked away screaming (but got a viral video out of it). 🚲🐒 Blitz Itinerary ⏳ Morning: 7 AM: Train from Bangkok (3rd class, windows down, 20 baht!) 8 AM: Wat Yai Chai Mongkhon (climb the stupa for epic views) 10 AM: Wat Mahathat (Buddha head photos—go early to avoid crowds) Afternoon: 12 PM: Lunch at Malakor Kitchen (try the mango salad with crispy catfish) 2 PM: Wat Chaiwatthanaram + river cruise (500 baht for private longtail) 4 PM: Ayothaya Floating Market (coconut ice cream break) Evening: 6 PM: Sunset at Wat Lokayasutha (giant reclining Buddha) 7 PM: Night train back to Bangkok (or stay for ghost stories—this city’s haunted AF) Pack: A hat (zero shade at ruins), wet wipes (noodle hands), and a power bank for pics. Ayutthaya’s the kind of place that makes you whisper "how is this real?!" between bites of grilled pork skewers. Who’s in? 🏯🔥

Whether you're a spiritual or merit-making person, there are many temples, such as Wat Chaimongkol, which is located next to the Ping River. The atmosphere is great. Release birds and fish, then go up to make merit by offering alms to the monks at the monk's quarters. Then you can go and draw lots. You can do everything in one place.

#dreamvoyage Wat Chaimongkol is a temple of the Mahanikaya sect located in Chang Klan Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai Province. The temple land covers an area of ​​5 rai 61 square wa. The northern boundary is the land of the French Alliance, the southern boundary is private land, the eastern boundary is the Ping River, and the western boundary is Charoen Prathet Road.

#Spirit-Tourist Spots In addition to the general public who like spiritualism about money, there are some groups whose lives are almost perfect in every way, but they want to have a child who is the apple of their eye. I don't know where their charisma is blocked, making it so difficult to have a child. Today, I will recommend a spiritual place to ask for a child at 'Guanyin Shrine Namo Boon Baramee, Wat Chaimongkol'. From the experience of someone close to me who asked for a blessing from Guanyin Namo Boon Baramee at Wat Chaimongkol, they told me their experience asking for a child from the goddess, I must say it gave me goosebumps. And today, they have a child. Every year, I will take my child to pay homage to thank the goddess for giving me this child and also taking care of and protecting this child. (Please use your discretion because it is part of the personal beliefs that people have faith in.) Guanyin Shrine Namo Boon Baramee is located in Wat Chaimongkol, a famous temple in Chiang Mai near Chang Klan. #Spirit-Trip #PrayerTrip #Guanyin #Prayer #PrayerGuanYin #WatChaiMongkol

After paying homage to the Buddha and releasing fish at Wat Chaimongkol, behind the temple, next to the riverside, there is a statue of King Rama V "standing" and an inscription that says "Remember Me 1907". His Majesty wrote this for his consort, Princess Dara Rasami, as a memorial to Princess Dara Rasami, the princess of Chiang Mai. After the end of King Rama V's reign, she returned to live in Chiang Mai. Therefore, people like to come and pay homage and ask for love here because they believe that it will help them not forget each other. If anyone comes to pay homage for the first time, light 16 incense sticks. The next time you come to pay homage, light 9 or 5 incense sticks. Recite the worship mantra (set your mind to pray for a blessing from him, but do not make a vow). It is popular to pay homage with pink roses or flowers. When you visit Chiang Mai, stop by to pay homage to the Buddha and pay respect to him. Wat Chaimongkol is on Charoen Prathet Road before Saphan Lek. It is near the Night Bazaar and not far from the old city. #Must-visit destinations #Chiang Mai travel #Chiang Mai is worth visiting #Chiang Mai #Must-visit #Must-visit #Beautiful temples in Chiang Mai #Chiang Mai temples

In the past, it was said that the scorpion-tailed boat procession that traveled to trade goods in Bangkok would often stop by this temple to ask for blessings before sailing to trade. Because it was believed that it would bring victory, good fortune, and safety, just like the temple's name. Currently, Wat Chaimongkol is one of the temples where people come to make merit, ranked first among temples in Chiang Mai. Part of the reason may be due to the improvement of the scenery inside the temple, which is peaceful, beautiful, and shady, suitable for making merit. In addition, there are many other incentives that make people travel to make merit at Wat Chaimongkol continuously. .................. The important point that I am writing about is the changes to the pagoda, which has changed so much that I feel sorry for the original Mon style. #beautiful temple #beautiful temple #Thai temple #Wat Chaimongkol How to get there - Driving Tourist attractions - Wat Chaimongkol Hotel - Duangtawan Hotel Chiang Mai Restaurant and food - Khao Soi Lamduan Shopping - Night Bazaar

Wat Chai Mongkol is located on Charoen Prathet Road, near the city area of ​​Chiang Mai. It is one of the 9 temples that people like to make merit because its name is auspicious. The temple is not very big and there are many big trees for shade. After paying respect to the president in the chapel, there is also a monument of King Rama V for you to worship and ask for blessings. On the other side of the temple, there is a Guan Yin statue for you to worship and ask for blessings and cast lots. There is a box for you to put money in to make merit on your birthday as you wish. The temple is located on the banks of the Ping River, so there is a pier for you to release aquatic animals. It is convenient and strong enough to support the weight. We can buy fish from outside or buy them in front of the temple door, there are many types for sale. Near the fish release area, there is a project to redeem the lives of cows and buffaloes for you to make merit. The temple also has a coffee shop on the pier, and there are long-tail boats that sail the Ping River. If you come to Chiang Mai and stay in the city, Wat Chai Mongkol is the temple we recommend. #beautifultemple #chiangmaitemple #beautifultemplesinThailand #chiangmai #chiangmaireview

Making merit by releasing fish and saving the lives of cows and buffaloes

Come here to release birds and fish, it's all there. Or you can ward off bad luck, make merit with oil lamps, draw lots. I like to make merit on my birthday here regularly. The shady place is next to the Ping River. The temple gate closes at 6 pm. But during the month of May 2022, the temple is being renovated. But you can still go into the temple and make merit as usual. But when releasing, we have to release it a little far from the fish release point because the big fish are waiting to eat the small fish.
