It's impossible to visit every Wat in the Chiang Mai area of Thailand unless you're either born or live there. Doesn't mean one can't make a feeble attempt at seeing as many Wats as possible during a few days' visit. Time for a random romp.
Here's Wat Hua Khwang, all buttoned up and neat.
The main chedi is allowed to grow a little nature fuzz, since it's authentically old. Buddha statue, you stay under your protective plastic. Mysterious.
Morning monk services at Wat Phan On.
A little shoutout at the Wat to one of the persons bankrolling the operation. Oh, just in case you couldn't tell, the Wat lets you know the devotee is female. Wherever they get their money, it's being poured like gold into the place.
Moving on, it's the rustic, rural laid back vibe of Wat Mahawan.
Their Buddha is quite the prepared monk-scout, complete with walking stick and trusty umbrella. The stately, whitewashed stupa in morning light.
A regal door at Wat Lamchang.
