Wat Chet Yot, also known as Wat Photharam Maha Wihan, is a distinctive Buddhist temple located in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Built in 1455 under the reign of King Tilokarat of the Lanna Kingdom, the temple is renowned for its unique architecture that draws inspiration from the Mahabodhi Temple in Bodh Gaya, India. The temple complex features a fascinating seven-spired stupa, which represents the seven weeks Buddha spent meditating after his enlightenment. Wat Chet Yot is also a significant site for the celebration of Visakha Bucha Day, which commemorates the birth, enlightenment, and death of the Buddha.
