), or simply Wat Sadeu Muang, is a small Thai Buddhist temple in the heart of the Old City of Chiang Mai, Thailand. This relatively small temple is located just beside Intrawarorot Road, with no room for a compound of its own. Across the road from this temple is the Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Centre, with the Three Kings Monument around the corner.Wat Sadeu Muang dates back to the very founding of Chiang Mai by King Mangrai. So it is one of the oldest temples in the city, alongside Wat Chiang Man. In its present incarnation, it comprises a viharn (assembly hall) and two brick chedi (stupas). The octagonal chedi dates from the 14th century while the circular moldings is from the 15th-16th century.
Wat Sadeu Muang was where the city pillar of Chiang Mai was originally placed. Perhaps that's how it got its name (which means Monastery of the City Navel). For undocumented reason, the city pillar was moved by Chao Kawila to its present location at Wat Chedi Luang.

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.
While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
