It was built in 1867 by Phra Khru Chanta. 🏰In 1870, the villagers of San Khong Luang, which is a community of Thai Khen people, jointly developed Wat Chiang Yuen (San Khong Luang). In addition to being a religious place for Buddhist merit-making ceremonies, it is also a symbol of the unity and prosperity of the San Khong Luang community. 🏰And most importantly, it is a symbol of the determination to settle here. To be sustainable in arts and culture, in line with the auspicious name of the temple, Chiang Yuen. 🙏In 1927, Phra Khru Ba Sriwichai Siriwicho traveled back from restoring the Phra Maha That Doi Tung and came to stay at Wat Chiang Yuen. And ordained a boy, Kamla Subhayot 🛕 Later, Samanera Kamla began to build permanent structures by inviting villagers to build a pagoda at the back of the temple. 🛕 And followed the teachings of Phra Khru Ba Sriwichai by restoring various temples in the northern region. Therefore, the villagers believed in him and raised him to be a teacher, called Phra Khru Ba Kamla Sawaro, the virtuous person of Chiang Rai. 🛕 The architecture of the temple is outstanding, namely the red color of the Lanna art temple. 🙏 There are objects of worship, namely Phra Chao Sapao Kham, a pair of Buddha statues at Wat Khru Ban San Khong Luang and Wat Chiang Yuen, a bronze Buddha statue in Yunnan art, 14 inches wide at the lap, and 31 and a half inches high from the base of the Buddha to the top of the head. 🙏 During World War II, someone invited the Buddha statue from Chiang Rung (Sipsong Panna), Yunnan Province, People's Republic of China, and called it Phra Chao Sapao Kham according to the shape of the base of the Buddha, which is similar to a junk. 🙏Wat Chiang Yuen received the royal charter of the boundary of the temple in 1946. 🏰It was selected by the National Office of Buddhism to be an educational park in the temple in 2020. 🏰It is a place to study and learn about the lifestyle and culture of the Tai Khen people, lacquerware, patterned fabrics, zodiac flags, Sapdan Lanna, and the four guardian deities. 💥Wat Chiang Yuen: San Khong Luang Road, Tambon Rob Wiang, Mueang Chiang Rai District, Chiang Rai Province 🌐Coordinates: https://maps.app.goo.gl/XcHR5YUq2ormsVBk8 🕕Opening - closing hours: 06.00 - 18.00 hrs. #Chiang Rai #Visit Chiang Rai #Chiang Rai attractions
