Wat Chai Mongkol, Chiang Mai Province, wants to release birds and fish.

Wat Chaimongkol (Rim Ping) This temple is not crowded. In our opinion, if you really want to make merit, we recommend coming here because it is not a business temple (personal opinion). Because the villagers come to help with the temple work. The monks also dig the soil, plant trees, and repair things. They do it themselves. I saw it with my own eyes. Inside, there is a memorial to King Rama V and a pavilion of Pu Chok and Pu Chai. They sell fish, birds, frogs, and turtles to release in the Ping River on the other side of the temple. There is a charity for cows and buffaloes. There is a merit-making ceremony for tiles. The temple has been around for about 600-700 years. The villagers said that there are no amulets for sale at this temple. Because those who come to pray to Phra Phuttha Chaimongkol are like receiving good fortune with them. 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 Note: There is a boat parked at the temple pier. It offers a trip down the Ping River to see the view and atmosphere. But we didn't get on one so we didn't ask the price. Note: If you are hungry, stand by the river and look across from the temple. You will see noodles with dangling legs. When you drive out of the temple to eat, everything you order is really delicious. I will post a review again. History Originally, it was a Mon temple called Wat Ma Le or Wat Ma Leing, which means "bright dawn" or "dawn". Later, the name was changed to Wat Chai Mongkol during the reign of King Rama V. It has a unique and distinctive Mon-style pagoda on a recessed base. The ordination hall was built on top of the viharn, making the ordination hall and viharn become one building. There is a Phra Phuttha Chai Mongkol in the Mara-Vijaya posture made of brick or lacquered and gilded as the principal Buddha image in the viharn. The temple is located on the east side, next to the Ping River. Therefore, it is a temple where tourists and visitors to Chiang Mai come to make merit by releasing fish, turtles, frogs, shellfish, and birds to escape suffering, sorrow, disease, and danger, so that they can flow with the Ping River for good fortune in life. #BreatheFreshAir#TravelEveryDay#VisitThaiTemples#ChiangMai #PingRiver #WatChaiMongkol
