Timeless Charm of Lanna: Wat Phan Tao

#thailandtrip

Step into a slice of Lanna history at Wat Phan Tao, one of Chiang Mai’s rare all-teakwood temples. Once a royal throne hall, this humble yet majestic structure reflects the grace of Northern Thai architecture and spiritual calm.

✨ Things to do:
• Admire the handcrafted teakwood hall
• Take photos with the golden standing Buddha and ornate white gate
• Visit the Buddhist Manuscript Library nearby

💡 Tips:
• Visit in the early morning for fewer crowds and softer light
• Wear modest clothing (covered shoulders and knees) to enter temple areas

📍 Location: Phra Pok Klao Road, Si Phum Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Mai
It’s right next to Wat Chedi Luang, easy to combine in one visit!
