Wat Don Chan

  Wat Don Chan sits along the Muang Chiang Mai District, approximately 600 meters southeast of the iconic Ping River. Dating back to the late 16th century, this temple offers a glimpse into the Lanna architectural style, with its distinctive golden chedi that draws attention. Primarily serving as a place of worship, Wat Don Chan also plays host to various ceremonies throughout the year, particularly during Buddhist festivals. Visitors can explore the serene grounds, where they’ll discover intricate murals, local rituals, and the presence of monk chants. If you're in the area during the full moon in November, witnessing the Loi Krathong celebration here can be a unique experience.
