Wat Saen Fang Chiang Mai

Wat Saen Fang was established in the 14th century, but the architecture dates only from the 19th century. The imposing gatehouse entrance has naga balustrades.
The origin of the Lan Na style viharn is of importance as it was the former royal hall of Chao Kawilorot (reigned 1856-1870) and was converted for use as a viharn in 1879. It displays elaborate carved panels of animal motifs on the gable.
The Burmese style chedi is whitewashed and has pairs of chinthe guarding each corner. The beautifully carved red painted ho trai is situated in a pond and a bot constructed in 1910 displays features of both Lan Na and Burmese styles with small kinnorn figures on the roof ridges.
