Yang Tree of Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai

The Yang Tree is a dipterocrap tree within the ground of Wat Chedi Luang. It was planted by Chao Kawila when he established Chiang Mai in 1796. The tree planting marked the establishment of the city of Chiang Mai. Today the Yang Tree towers over the City Pillar Shrine, which houses the City Pillar. The City Pillar was moved to the spot under the Yang Tree from Wat Sadue Muang. Yang Tree (24 October 2006)

About this website

Hello and thanks for reading this page. My name is Timothy and my hobby is in describing places so that I can share the information with the general public. My website has become the go to site for a lot of people including students, teachers, journalists, etc. whenever they seek information on places, particularly those in Malaysia and Singapore. I have been doing this since 5 January 2003, for over twenty years already. You can read about me at Discover Timothy. By now I have compiled information on thousands of places, mostly in Peninsular Malaysia and Singapore, and I continue to add more almost every day. My goal is to describe every street in every town in Malaysia and Singapore.
