Chiang Mai - Wat Pha Pong

The magnificent Wat Pha Pong is entered through finely articulated gates. Several chedis encircle a pretty pavilion, with steps leading up to a chapel inside. The façade of the square building, adorned with round-arched windows and pilasters, shows Chinese as well as Burmese influence. In addition to its statues of Buddha, the three-aisled interior is decorated with murals.
