ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
Mahawan Temple (Wat Mahawan) is a small and not particularly well–known temple among tourists in Chiang Mai, which stands out among hundreds of other city temples for its architectural style, which traces the influence of two cultures at once: the medieval kingdom of Lanna, which once existed on the territory of modern Chiang Mai, and the Burmese state, now Myanmar. The main structure of the Viharn temple is made in the traditional Lanna style, and the pagoda was built by the Burmese. There is also a massage school here, and for a fee in support of the temple you can get a massage session. Otherwise, the temple does not stand out in anything particularly remarkable, so if you pass by, you can look here, spend five minutes on inspection.
