Wat Muen Lan วัดหมื่นล้าน , Chiang Mai

Ho trai of Wat Muen Lan (24 October 2006)


Wat Muen Lan (GPS: ; Thai: วัดหมื่นล้าน ) is the first temple you reach upon crossing Tha Phae Gate into the old city. Also written as Wat Muen Larn, it is a small wat. The ho trai, or manuscript house, bears elements of Burmese-inspired style. The ho trai is square and built of teak while its base is stucco.

What to see

The Burmese-style ho trai is worth a look. It is located next to the small viharn. Next to the ho trai is the whitewashed chedi of the wat. Admire the gilded sum over the windows and doorway in the form of coiled naga.

Getting there

Wat Muen Lan is located on the north side of Ratchadamnoen Road, west of Tha Phae Gate. It is the first temple you see after passing through the gate.

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.
