Wat Pa Pao is a highly regarded temple with Burmese style, built by Shan people (Shans) . These Shans; (Shans) & Yu 1883 came to Chiang Mai to trade timber with the British over the years. They wanted to have their own holy place for Buddhist worship, so they built the temple. The temple is surrounded by sunken gardens, including a brick-and-cement Buddhist pagoda and a recently built monastery. The roof design of Shan Buddhist Hall is in the form of " Payata " (pyatthat) which consists of many layers and the last layer has a cusp. Three statues of Buddha are enshrined in the arch temple. During the visit, I came across the pagoda of PaPaPao Temple being renovated, and the ancient and Burmese style hall was surrounded by iron railings for the purpose of preserving cultural relics. But from the outside, you can see the appearance of the hall, which is very beautiful. Wat Pa Pao's pagoda or buildings have a strong sense of vicissitudes of life, perhaps because of old disrepair, so we can see that some of the small pagodas nearby have cracks, and the main hall is blocked in the fence, and no repair has been seen, presumably because of the lack of funds. I just hope these buildings will be well preserved.

    The interior of the temple changes according to the times. A school was built inside the temple. In order to educate the children of Tai Yai who lived in Chiang Mai as a learning center Promoting Lanna - Thai-Tai Yai art and culture and ethnic groups

    Unusual temple Wat Pa Pao looks like a temple that time forgot. It is slightly unusual as most of the buildings and pagoda have been left to the elements giving a curiously weathered and decayed appearance and the thick vegetation does not seem to have been much cut back. With a lot of the stonework left unwhitewashed and in its natural state it looks much older than it probably is but it has an air of mystery and is more attractive than many of the other immaculately maintained temples.

    The Pabo Temple is unique in the temples of Chiang Mai. Every element in the complex reflects the religious and artistic tradition of the Shan people in Myanmar. It has a history of 150 years. There are portraits of local Shan people on the wall of the hall, followed by two Burmese-style Buddhist statues.

    Wat Pa Pao is a Thai Yai style. And the temple has organized the Poi San Long tradition regularly in April every year.
