Enjoy at Wat Pho Thong Ban Lan, Fang District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand, a buddhist temple of the Tai Yai people (hill tribes) with architecture and sculptures that are beautiful and unique in the style of Tai Yai art.

The president buddha image of the temple (buddha statue of Tai Yai art).

Hello everyone. Mon Pin Subdistrict, Fang District is a subdistrict with many temples and natural attractions. Two days ago, me and my wife had a chance to visit Mon Pin Subdistrict. We went to Mae Mao Dam and I shared a photo of Mae Mao Dam in this community in the past post. In addition, we also visited the temples in this subdistrict. Mon Pin Subdistrict has 22 villages, Thai villages, Tai Yai villages (hill tribe) and Chinese villages. The temples in this subdistrict therefore have Thai temples, Tai Yai temples and Chinese shrines. Because we have limited time. So we visited a Tai Yai art-style temple in Ban Lan village. Because we have been to this temple for a long time ago. And we like and fascinate with the beautiful of this temple. In addition, me and my wife also like the atmosphere and view of Ban Lan village too. This is the reason we chose to visit this temple. And I want to share this temple with friends.

This temple is called Wat Pho Thong Ban Lan. This temple was permitted to be established as a temple around the year A.D. 1940. (83 years ago). Wat Pho Thong Ban Lan is a buddhist temple of the Tai Yai people, with beautiful and distinctive Tai Yai art style architecture and sculptures, another temple in Fang District. And is a temple for religious ceremonies of the Tai Yai people. To get to Wat Pho Thong Ban Lan, I have to drive to Ban Lan village. This village is a peaceful and pleasant village.

This temple is located on a low hill. When we arrived Wat Pho Thong Ban Lan. I have to park in the courtyard below. And we have to walk up the stairs to the top where the temple is located. But you can drive up the hill to reach this temple.
The stairs leading up to the temple are stairs with color gold serpent sculptures with beautiful stucco designs. This serpent sculpture is a serpent with 5 heads, which is different and distinctive than other temples that mostly have only one head.

As we walk up to area top, a large buddha image hall (viharn) in the style of Tai Yai art architecture welcomes us. I think this white buddha image hall (viharn) decorated with Tai Yai art patterns is unique and fascinating.

As we entered the buddha image hall (viharn), we became even more fascinated by this temple. The president buddha image of the temple is a buddha image in Tai Yai art style that is unique and beautiful as well. In addition, area the left and right sides of the president buddha image there are various many buddha images. The pillars and the back of the main president image are decorated with beautiful stucco patterns and colored glass.

Inside the temple there is also a pavilion in the style of Tai Yai art and inside the pavilion there are buddha images.

And another highlight of Wat Pho Thong Ban Lan that my wife and I are fascinated with is the view and the atmosphere below and around the temple. When we walk to the courtyard in front of the buddha image hall (viharn). This area will be the view point of this temple. In this area, we can see the village of Ban Lan and the beautiful view of that area. We enjoyed and happiness the view of this area. It took us about 20 minutes to enjoy it. Take a look.

Other atmospheres in the temple.

Unfortunately, we've read information from the internet that this temple has a pagoda, but we couldn't find the pagoda of this temple.
We felt many emotions visiting this temple, we enjoyed, relaxed and happy. And we always enjoy when visiting this temple.

These are the stories and photos I want to share for this post. Invite everyone to watch and enjoy my stories and photos. Have a great day. See you next time. Thank you for your support and visiting my post. Bye 🤗

🌏 Wat Pho Thong Ban Lan is located Mon Pin Subdistrict, Fang District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand.
