Mahawan Temple in Chiang Mai

On the first day, we booked the itinerary for the next day at Uncle Billy’s Travel Agency. We were scheduled to pick us up at the hotel from 8: 30 to 9: 00. We looked at the time after the hotel had used up the free breakfast provided by the hotel and walked out along the alley early.

According to the map brought by Uncle Billy’s travel agency, there is a large temple not far ahead of us, called Maha Bay Temple.

After walking for less than 5 minutes, I saw a temple, which can be guessed intuitively as Mahawan Temple.

The sculpture on the grass in the temple is very interesting.

The architecture of the temple combines Lana style and Burmese style.

The monastery and Buddhist temple on the east side are of Lana style, while the pagoda, sutra depository and rare square monastery on the west side are completely Burmese style.

The Lana-style monastery was built in 1865 and renovated in 1957 with bright modern murals.

The finely decorated teak-roofed ho trai is now a squatter.

The monastery on the west side is decorated with very lively reliefs and honors a huge Burmese-style Buddha. Built for a teak merchant in the 19th century.
