[2025 Chiang Saen Attraction] Travel Guide for Wat Phrathat Chedi Luang, Chiang Saen City (Updated Apr)

🛕 Wat Chedi Luang, Chiang Saen: Wat Jedee Loung Chiang Sean is an ancient temple with historical and Lanna cultural significance. It is located within the walls of Chiang Saen. It was originally called 'Wat Phra Luang'. 🧱 After the construction of the walls of Chiang Saen, Phraya Saen Phu ordered the construction of a new chedi to cover the original chedi built by Phraya Siritham Asokarat. Later, the Phra Viharn of Wat Phra Luang was built, which was 8 wa wide, 17 wa long, and 29 wa high. In 2058, during the reign of Phra Muang Kaew, the chedi was renovated by excavating the base of the large chedi in the central temple of Chiang Saen and building a new chedi with a base width of 15 wa and 25 wa. #100TravelTips #TravelEatEatTravel #Chiang Saen #VisitChiang Saen #Lanna #VisitHistoricSite #VisitChiangRai #ChiangRai #ChiangRaiTemples #WatChiangSaen #ReviewBeautifulTemples #trip #tripmoments #tripDiscount

This time, I will introduce a temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand. This is a temple with brick-like, almost Western-style walls. I went there during the day, and it was fun because it had a slightly different atmosphere compared to other temples in Thailand. Please be sure to go there at least once! 📍 Wat Phra That Chedi Luang วัดเจดีย์หลวง Address: 635, Wiang, Chiang Saen District, Chiang Rai 57150 Thailand Opening hours: Open 24 hours #Free hotel stay

Chiang Saen in Chiang Rai was once the capital of the Lanna Kingdom. The town still has well-preserved ancient temples, unique architectural styles, and Buddha statues, all of which testify to its historical significance as a major city of the kingdom. Among the must-visit attractions are Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Paksek, the latter being known for its millennium-old teak forest temple with numerous carvings, including Buddha statues from the Lamphun Queen era, the 'Time God' that devours time, and standing Buddhas surrounding the stupa. Wat Chedi Luang was built in the third year after the establishment of Chiang Saen, authorized by King Sean-Pu, and both the temple and stupa are early Lanna Buddhist architectural styles.
