Wat Chiang Man is the oldest temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand, dating back to the founding of the city in 1296. It was built under the reign of King Mengrai, the founder of Chiang Mai, and served as his residence during the construction of the city. The temple is renowned for its beautiful Lanna-style architecture, including the impressive chedi (stupa) supported by rows of sculpted elephants. Inside, visitors can find two important Buddha images: the Phra Sila (a marble Buddha) and the Phra Sae Tang Khamani (a crystal Buddha), both of which are highly revered.
