Wat ChetawanWat Chetawan is a small temple on the north side of Tha Phae Road facing Wat Mahawan. Also written as Wat Jetawan, this temple incorporates Burmese elements in the design of the three chedi in its compound. The chedi has a bell shape with characteristic flare in the base. The viharn is a large concrete structure that almost overwhelms the older chedis in the compound.What to seeAdmire the Burmese style elements in the architecture of Wat Chetawan. Guarding the entrance to the viharn is a pair of Chinthe, dog-like guardian lions of Burmese design. At each corner of the chedi are gilded, filigree parasols called chat.Getting thereWat Chetawan is located on the north side of Tha Phae Road, between Chiang Mai Soi 2 and Soi 3, to the east of the old city. On the opposite side of the road is Wat Mahawan.Nearby Sights |
