“Center of learning places of local history and arts.”
Wat Phan Tao means "The Monastery of a Thousand Kilns". There are many antique architecture and lanna-art constructions e.g. wooden viharns, lanna-craved gates.
The peacock shaped gate were built as a symbol of the king. Here is quite different from the other temples in Chiangmai.
Wat Phan Tao is located close to the center of the old walled part of Chiang Mai just South of Ratchadamnoen road. The main entrance is on Phra Pok Klao road that runs North to South through the old city.
