Wat Chet Lin Address:
Phrapokklao Road Phra Sing Subdistrict, Chiang Mai 50200 Thailand
📍Pray for blessings from the four-eared spider and check in at the To Wa wooden bridge.
Wat Chet Lin is another temple that you should stop by when you visit Chiang Mai because it is located in the heart of the city, near Pratu Chiang Mai Market. When you enter the temple, you feel much wider than when you look from the outside. The highlight of this temple is the To Wa Bridge, which tourists like to take pictures of. It is a woven bamboo bridge that stretches across a lotus pond and has lanterns hanging all along the way for you to take pictures and feed the fish. Around the temple, there are many places to pay homage, including casting lots at Luang Por Than Jai. Another thing I would like you to stop by and read about the history of the four-eared, five-eyed spider, which is also available for worship at this temple. This is truly another interesting temple in Chiang Mai.

Coordinates of the beautiful old temple 'Wat Chet Lin'
#Beautiful temple Wat Chet Lin, a beautiful old temple in the heart of Chiang Mai. This is the first time I've been to this temple since I've been to Chiang Mai. If you've driven past and looked towards the temple, you'll be struck by the large old head of the principal Buddha image in the chapel. This is another reason why I turned around to visit this temple.
Inside the temple, if you walk into the inner zone, there's a large pond at the back and a bridge called Saphan To Wa for walking across the pond. This is a great place to check in and take beautiful photos. For those who are into spiritualism, if you go there, you can't miss seeing the statue of the four-eared, five-eyed spider, a legendary creature from Lanna that eats red coals and takes pictures of gold. It's so interesting that you have to go and pray for blessings.
Wat Chet Lin is open every day from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
If you come via Chiang Mai Gate, it's before reaching Wat Chedi Luang.

Wat Chet Lin - Unseen, an ancient temple of Lanna
On a Sunday like this, where is Chiang Mai?
I will take my friends to see the temples in the walls of Chiang Mai.
There are dozens of temples, but today I would like to present 📍 Wat Chet Lin
This temple is very interesting. The important thing is not far away, near the Sunday walking street.
This temple is constantly checked in. Anyone who has been here must be impressed.
What makes everyone want to check in at Wat Chet Lin is the wooden bridge over Bueng Chet Lin (Towa Bridge). It is a bamboo bridge woven in rows that stretch from one side to the other of the pond in the temple. The quiet atmosphere is perfect for feeding fish and making merit with your family. #staycation #travelchiangmai #beautifultempleschiangmai

A photo spot in the middle of a lotus pond at "Saphan To Wa", Wat Chet Lin, Changwat
Wat Chet Lin, or as the locals call it, Wat Nong Charin, is believed to have been built before the year 2060. The word Lin is a northern dialect meaning a gutter, and the word “Chet Lin” means seven gutterings. Toh Wa Bridge, pronounced Toh-Wa, comes from the Karen language and means bamboo bridge. It was named by the abbot of Wat Chet Lin to match the Tai Wa coffee shop located in the same area. The word Tai Wa comes from Pali and Sanskrit, meaning Thai heaven. This bamboo bridge is like it was built in heaven, created by the combined efforts of monks, novices, and the faith of the locals. It stretches over the marsh behind Wat Chet Rin, surrounded by large lotus or Victoria water lilies, which bloom white in the morning and purple in the afternoon. The bridge railings are decorated with red umbrellas and colorful lanterns, making it a very beautiful photo spot.

Wat Chet Lin
It is an old temple with a pond inside the temple and is located in the heart of Chiang Mai. In the past, before the king ascended the throne, he would come to perform a Buddhist blessing ceremony and bathe in the pond at Wat Chet Lin.
Currently, the abbot has built a bamboo bridge in the middle of the pond and planted water lilies and Victoria water lilies to enhance the beauty of the pond. On the other side of the pond, he will let water hyacinth grow because it is home to many types of water birds. He said that they were here before us. When we are going to develop, we should not destroy their habitats.

Wat Chet Lin, Chiang Mai
#GetDiscountsWithoutLuck A merit-making trip, walking in and out of temples in the old city of Chiang Mai. Another temple I like is Wat Chet Lin, a small and beautiful temple. In front is a chapel and in the back is an old pagoda. This temple is more than 500 years old. Walk past the pagoda and you will find To Wa Bridge, a bamboo bridge in a pond. There is a parallel bridge made of strong cement. You can walk on both bridges. In front of To Sa Bridge, there is a golden castle hut, beautiful in a modified Lanna style. This temple has its own beverage shop. The income goes to the temple. There is a place to make merit and offer alms to monks. It is a very quiet temple in the middle of Chiang Mai.
