Chiang Saen Day Trip, cycling around the old city, chilling out 🤩

Chiang Saen Visit the old city in the past, which was the capital city. It flourished with Chiang Saen art. Chiang Saen District, a city of ancient civilization with great value, has ancient sites scattered around the city. There are many stories to study. The highlight is Wat Pa Sak, built during the reign of Phraya Saen Phu, the third ruler of Chiang Mai of the Mangrai Dynasty, the son of King Chai Songkhram when he established Chiang Saen and established it as the capital city. Then, the status of Chiang Mai was reduced to a minor city. The purpose of building Wat Pa Sak was to enshrine the relics of the right ankle bone of the Lord Buddha, which Phra Buddhakosajarn brought from the city of Pataliputra. Phraya Saen Phu ordered the planting of 300 teak trees around the temple area, which is the origin of the name Wat Pa Sak. Thais pay an entrance fee of 10 baht and foreigners 50 baht. There is also Wat Chedi Luang. It is an old temple built in 1834 and is now 728 years old. Legend has it that “Phra Chao Saen Phu” ordered the construction of this temple 3 years after the construction of the Chiang Saen city wall. It is considered an important temple of the city that the locals have great faith in. If you have time, find a restaurant to try the Mekong River fish tom yum. It is another great day that you can drive to visit 60 km from Mueang Chiang Rai District. 🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎🌎 #VisitChiangRai #ChiangSaen #GoldenTriangle
