Wat Khong Khao, Chiang Mai Province This is an old temple not far from the city. Its exquisite architecture reflects Lanna art. It is believed to have been built during the reign of Queen Chamadevi, the first ruler of Hariphunchai. The name of Wat Khong Khao comes from the temple's white arch or tunnel. In the past, behind the principal Buddha image in the old chapel, there was a hole the size of a person leading down to a small cave. The entrance looks like a white tunnel.
