Phan Tao Temple is located diagonally opposite to the Dafo Pagoda Temple. There is a huge and ancient teak wood hall in the temple. It is designed in pure Lanna style and has a history of more than 280 years. It is one of the few wooden buildings at present. "PhanTao" means "1000 stoves", because it used to be a Buddha casting field, casting Buddha statues for important temples, hence the name. The walls of Pandao Temple are ochre red, and on top of each wall column is a white kneeling figure or a small slender tower, which is very eye-catching on the street. The simple and elegant teak wood hall enters from the temple gate facing the street, and you will see a hall immediately. The columns, walls and roof ridges are all made of precious teak wood, which is a very famous building in the temple.

It is quite imposing in appearance. The solemnity is full of antique flavor, very charming. There are many small bamboo pagodas filled with yellow prayer flags around the hall, rendering a strong Lanna culture atmosphere. This hall used to be the residence of the royal family. Above the door is a golden Lanna-style woodcarving. The huge peacock in the center spreads its wings and opens its screen, symbolizing the splendor and nobility of the king. Around the peacock, there are lions and dragons holding up the pagoda and lying under the peacock. holding a dog. The whole wood carving is well-proportioned in layout, rigorous in structure, vivid in shape and exquisite in workmanship. Entering the teak wood hall, the main Buddha enshrined has a peaceful appearance and glittering golden light. There are many low-hanging prayer flags hanging on the top of the main hall, and ancient temple bells, ceramic products, gilded wooden Buddha statues in northern Thai style, teak cabinets, Buddhist scriptures copied on palm leaves and other items are displayed in the hall, all of which are worth appreciating.

It is a temple in the heart of Chiang Mai. Not far from Sunday Walking Street. If you want to come and get a comfortable atmosphere, take a walk and chill. Let's come after 18:00 and walk shopping on the walking street first. On the way, you will pass the temple. You can come to pay homage to Phra Loi Thian Sado. At night, the atmosphere is good, if it is winter too, the weather will be very good.
Although I have seen so many temples in the ancient city of Chiang Mai, Pan Dao Temple is one of the temples with a single tree, which is worth recommending. Pandao Temple is built in teak, pure Taipei Lanna style design, not as golden as other temples, aggressive momentum. And although Phan Tao means "1,000 stoves", the incense here is not very prosperous, very quiet, occupies little space, and there are not many tourists. In the temple, people are surprisingly calm inside. The arch of the entrance is red, and there are very beautiful carvings on the arch, which reminds me of the beautiful carvings of Queen's Palace in Angkor Wat. When entering the hall, please be careful not to take pictures. We can only record the golden decorations at the entrance of the hall with a camera, and the visitors can only feel the interior with the naked eye. Compared with other famous temples in Chiang Mai, Pan Dao Temple is not so famous, so there is no noise from other temples here. It is a simple and quiet temple. You can rest assured that you can sit in the temple and relax yourself without being disturbed by the noise of tourists. Think about your life carefully. If you are tired of sitting, I suggest you take a walk in the small garden of the temple. There is a small pond with many red umbrellas and hanging bells. I like this quiet reserve very much. It's really a beautiful scene in Chiang Mai. It's very unforgettable.
The temple is very beautiful. I have been to pay homage 2 times during Visakha Bucha Day.
