The original name of the temple was WATCHANLOKKLANGWIANG, which was reduced to WATKLANGWIANG in 1992. There is not much information to check, but the temple is located in the center of Chiang Rai, so it is also the place where the city pillars are placed. There used to be a huge red sandalwood tree in the temple, which was blown down by a huge storm in 1903. In 1992, a pagoda was built on the site of a large tree, with an elephant statue surrounding the base of the stupa.

Ming Muang Temple (Chang Moob Temple), Mueang District, Chiang Rai Province
This is a temple that most people don't know much about, but it is an ancient temple that has been with Chiang Rai since the city was founded. It was built by Chao Nang Talamae Sri, the consort of King Mengrai the Great, who was the daughter of the Burmese king. Therefore, it has a unique Burmese and Lanna style that is more beautiful than other temples in Chiang Rai. This temple also has an ancient well that was used to feed the city of Chiang Rai in the past. There is also a wooden chapel that is the only one left in Chiang Rai. There is also Phra That Ming Mueang, which was originally entirely in Burmese style. Later, it was renovated and Lanna style art was added. Inside, there are also relics of the Lord Buddha and the history of the temple. If you go to Chiang Rai, don't forget to stop by to pay homage to the relics of the Lord Buddha. #VisitChiangRai #WatMingMueang #VisitNorth #VisitThailand
