Wat Loi Kroh is anot

Wat Loi Kroh is another temple with an auspicious name in Chiang Mai Province. People and tourists like to go to worship and pay homage to the Buddha for good luck in life. The temple was originally called “Wat Roi Kroh” (Wat Hoi Kroh). It was built around 1910 during the reign of King Kue Na, the sixth king of the Mangrai Dynasty. In the late period, when Burma invaded and successfully occupied Lanna, the temples in Chiang Mai were abandoned. Later, King Kawila successfully invaded Chiang Saen, which was still under Burmese rule. He rounded up the people of Chiang Saen and brought them to live in Chiang Mai. A group of “Ban Hom” people from Chiang Saen who migrated there at that time renovated Wat Roi Kroh and renamed it “Wat Loi Kroh”. The temple’s main chapel houses the “Phra Phutthasuphotsri Loi Kroh Ming Mongkol”, which is highly revered by the villagers and the general public. It is believed that anyone who comes to pay homage will be free from all sorrows. #TeamNortheast
