ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
The ancient Burmese temple of Saen Fang (Wat Saen Fang) is one of the little–known temples in Chiang Mai, which will be interesting if you have already looked at everything in the city and want to visit a low-tourist place. Unlike other, more popular local temples, there are almost never tourists here and even believers are rare in the heat of the day.
Apart from the typical Burmese architecture and its non-tourist atmosphere, it will not surprise you with anything special. It is known that it was founded in the XVI century, but all today's buildings date back to the XIX century. The viharn building served as a royal residence in the 1860s and was converted into a viharn in 1878. The temple is also known for its Burmese-style chedi, which is gilded with glass mosaics. Ubosot, topped with kinnara, is a fusion of Burmese style and Lanna style.
