Wat Inthakhin Sadue Muang (late 13th century). This style of Vihara (assembly hall) is a beautiful example of Lanna temple architecture. Dark teak coated in an almost black lacquer and guilt decoration. It's clear in every corner and in every smiling face all around. It's really appreciating the beauty of nature and renewing energy at local temples, and being grateful for everything. In this temple, for example, there is a tree full of golden hearts, where everyone makes their prayer and leaves it on the tree to be blessed! Chiang Mai is so much quieter than Bangkok. It has a very chilled vibe. Lots of temples to see but many look the same. It's nice to have a wander around and pick up the odd iced coffee to cool down. #bangkoktrip
