Travel to Mae Ai District, Chiang Mai, Thailand, Part 7 : Wat Hong Ha Noi (The small rural temple).

Hello everyone. Time flies, My wife and I haven't outdoor or traveled in two weeks. Today is another day that we take care of our son at home. But we are happy and relaxed at our home. This post, I want to share my journey to Mae Ai District 2 weeks ago. Journey to Mae Ai District 2 weeks ago, I still have many temples and places that we visited but haven't shared with everyone yet. This post is a small rural temple. This temple is called Wat Hong Ha Noi.

Wat Hong Ha Noi is located in San Ton Mue Subdistrict, Mae Ai District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. This temple received permission to establish itself as a temple in year A D. 2001 or 23 years ago. But there is no information about royal granting of the land to a particular temple by announcing in royal decree of this temple.

There are two name plates for this temple. The first name plate is a new name plate on the side of a rural road. And the second name plate is an old name plate on the wall in front of the temple.

The outdoor courtyard in front of the temple has a statue of the goddess of mercy (Kuan Yin) and a statue of a monk.

Before entering the temple, you will see a large entrance arch, made of bricks plastered with cement. Although this temple received permission to be established 23 years ago, But the entrance arch of this temple looks old and has not been restored. On the entrance arch is a buddha image and two angel statues.

On the pillars of the wall between the entrance to the temple are two statues of white lions.

When entering the temple. Inside the temple is a wide courtyard with trees. And there is a large buddha image hall (viharn) that looks beautiful and outstanding. The buddha image hall (viharn) is made of bricks plastered with cement and painted brown. Decorated with gold color stucco patterns. I think it probably be a Lanna style pattern. And there are two serpent statues on the railing of the stairs at the entrance to the buddha image hall (viharn).

Additionally, inside the temple there is the small pavilions and the buddha images.

And a pagoda under construction behind the temple.
