Description and is it worth a visit
Monument to the Three Kings (Three Kings Monument) is the most important monument in Chiang Mai, paying tribute to the three kings who founded the city. These are King Mengrai ruler of the kingdom of Lanna, King Ramkhamkheng ruler of Sukhothai and Ngam Muang ruler of Phayao. As the story goes, the kings of the three kingdoms, after many centuries of disparate existence, decided to unite into a single kingdom of Lanna Tai centered in Chiang Mai.
The monument was erected in 1984 as a tribute to the founders. The statue is made of bronze and is located in front of the cultural center of Chiang Mai. For local residents who deeply honor traditions, this monument is important, and therefore a conditional altar is equipped next to it, where locals bring offerings and pray.
The monument is located on a large spacious square in front of the old town Hall, and it is the most spacious place within the densely built-up old city of Chiang Mai. To be honest, from the point of view of a tourist there is not much to see here. You can come here to take a couple of photos, and no more.
