Wat Phra That Chedi Luang

This ancient 88-metre high brick pagoda, next to the museum, is the tallest religious monument in Chaing Rai.

Built in 1291, this temple houses the biggest chedi in Chiang Saen.  It is a bell-shapped chedi with an octagonal base.  The main hall and other surrounding chedis have all fallen in ruins.

Wat Pa Sak

Located outside the city walls, some 200 metres from the Tourist Service Centre, this deserted temple, with ornamental stucco motifs, is regarded as being one of the most beautiful examples of Lanna architecture in northern Thailand.

In 1295, Prince Saen Phu built this temple to contain Buddha's relics.  He also had 300 teak trees planted in the temple compound.

Wat Pa Sak sits on 16 acre of land.  There are 22 historic remains on the temple grounds.   The main bell-shaped chedi has five tapering spires.

The chedi at Wat Pa Sak are considered to be the best physical condition as well as the most beautiful of Lanna Style.  The pattern and design on the chedi reflect artistic development in Chiang Saen, revealing its original adoption of  Sukhothai, Pagan (Phukam), and Hariphunchai artistric styles.  Through the process of cultural transformation, a unique Chiang Saen style was realized.  It has since become the prototype of Lanna chedis.

Wat Phra That Chom Kitti  Pictures: Prathat Chom Kitti

This hilltop temple has a pagoda containing a Buddha relic.

This temple challenges it visitors to climb up 339 steps in order to admire its beauty.  It is, however, also accessible by car.  King Phangkharat had this shrine built to contain Buddha's relics.   In 1487, Muen Chiang Song had a new pagoda built to cover the old pagoda.

Anothe pagoda containing Buddha's relics in the area is Phra That Chom Chaeng.  A look-out point behind this pagoda offers a vantage point to enjoy the Mekong vista.

  Wat Phra That Pha-Ngao  Pictues: Prathat Pa Ngao

Located 4 kilometres along the Chaing Saen-Chaing Khong road, this temples hilltop pagoda offers a spectacular view of the Mekong River and Laos.

Built uniquely on a big slab of solid rock, Phra That Pha Ngao is a relatively small bell-shaped pagoda.  Another slab of rock stands in front of the pagoda as though it were the shadow.  Thus derived the name "pha-ngao", meaning the rock shadow.

Initially, this temple was called Wat Sop Kham.  Its former location was by Mekong River, and the temple was annually eroded by the tides.  Townspeople thus agreed to rebuild the temple further inland by a deserted temple at the foot of Doi Kham.  During the construction, they found under the base of the old Buddha image a magnificent Chiang Saen style statuette in subduing mara posture.  After half of the Buddha image was revealed, the excavation was stopped and a prayer has was built to cover it.  The image was called "Luang Pho Pha Ngao".

Chaing Saen Lake

South of Chaing Saen, along Highway No. 1016 (a 2-kilometre trip from the Km. 27 marker), this one square kilometre lake hosts migratory waterfowl during the winter months. Birds are seen at their best and most plentiful from November through February.

The Golden Triangle  Pictures: Golden Triangle  Movies: Golden Triangle

8 kilometres north of Chaing Saen, this riverside area marks the spot where the borders of Thailand, Myammar and Laos converge.

This is the cross-roads of the three-land borders.  The Ruak River bordering Thailand and Myanmar runs into the Mekong River from Laos creating the well known Golden Triangle.  In the old days drug  traffickers secretly met to barter off opium with gold nuggets.  Today it is a bustling tourist destination where visitors come to enjoy the rising sun emerging from the misty seas of fog.  

For an aerial glimpse of the Golden Triangle, you need to climb uphill to Doi Chiang Miang by the Mekong River where Wat Phra That Doi Pu Khao once stood. Only a pile of bricks remains to mark the site, but it provides a look-out point to catch "the big picture" of the Golden Triangle.

 Mekong River Trips

Boats can be hired from Chaing Saen to travel upstream to the Golden Triangle, and downstream to Chiang Khong. The trip to the Golden Triangle takes some 30 minutes, the trip to Chiang Khong about 1 hour and 30 minutes depending on river currents and water levels.

There are several piers to board a river cruise.  A six-passenger trip can cost about 300-400 Baht  A long-distance cruise.  which certainly costs more, can take you as far as Chiang Kong, Luang Prabang, Sip Song Pan Na , and even Khunming (South of China).
