There are quite a few temples in the ancient city of Chiang Mai. Wat Monthian (Meng Tian Temple) was the last stop we visited that morning. The flight time from check-out to the airport was a bit tight, and it was a pity that we could not walk in to visit.Some netizens wrote to me asking me where to visit in Chiang Mai. I highly recommend that you arrange a morning/afternoon time to visit these Buddhist temples in the ancient city of Chiang Mai. Their architectural style, Buddha statues, and sacrificial methods are different from those of Taiwan, but... Can give us a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere.
My own experience is that most travel books recommend going to relatively large temples such as Ssangyong Temple, and I don’t know how to introduce these small temples. So after I came back, I have always been interested in history and I really want to know more about it. The time and space background of these temples, adding these explanations in the process of writing the article, I hope that it can help the netizens who visit to feel more.I tried my best to use Google to find English webpages, and then compared Wikipedia to sort out an introduction to these temples. I have never translated it so seriously. I am afraid that my writing is not professional enough, and there may even be mistakes. I hope you can give more guidance.
Wat Mornthean seems to be a newly built temple. Apart from the fact that there is very little information on the website, when we visited and walked in, we found that the overall appearance was very new. Take a closer look at the gold paint on the eaves, the carved flowers on the windowsill, etc. In addition, there are new ones on the side of the temple. The temple continues to be built. I guess it may be a recent or renovated temple.
Tourism in Thailand has risen in the past few years, and more and more friends have joined the love-Thai people. In addition to Bangkok’s various exquisite hotels, gourmet food, nightclubs, and shopping, other cities in Thailand can see the historical relics of this country. His unique Geographical location and historical background enable the integration of various cultures. For example, in Sukhothai and Ayutthaya, you can see Cambodian/Khmer-style monuments. It turns out that they used to fight each other endlessly; in the temples, you will be amazed by the architectural style. Unlike us, countries that also believe in Buddhism have very different ways of worshipping Buddha. These are the reasons why I want to go to Thailand again and again.
Coming to Chiang Mai, here is different from the noise of Bangkok and Pattaya. It is a submerged and quiet city. Just like her beautiful nickname, "Northern Rose", it always allows us travelers to get spiritual cleansing here. Net, slowly savor the taste of traveling, changing the pace of life that is too rapid, and even sitting on the ground in these temples, blowing the cool breeze to feel the Buddha’s smile and release.At the last stop, we visited Wat Mornthean. When we left, a little monk smiled shyly at me. After nodding to him, we rode a motorcycle and headed home. Suddenly there was a very calm feeling, a kind of satisfaction. For the gains of travel, I am grateful that I finally came to this beautiful city. Perhaps Thailand is more diverse than I thought, and I want to keep exploring.
