Wat Chedi Luang

City: Chiang Mai, Thailand
Weather: 90°, hot and sunny
Site: Wat Chedi Luang
Activity: Looking

 

This was the oldest wat we had visited, dating back to the 14th century. The complex housed temples of various ages. Some under construction. It was interesting seeing how they make the curved roof profile by bending the roof purlins. I also liked watching the young novice monks. Many Thai boys train to become monks and can voluntarily leave the service when they choose. Adult monks can also leave at any time.
