This is certainly a very beautiful temple with a lot of wall art inside the main building, and a magnificent statue of the seated ဗုဒ္ဓ at one end of the hall. Behind the main hall is a very well-preserved chedi with a lot of ช้าง/ဆင် symbolism.

Just down the road from Tha Phae Gate which leads into the Old City (inside the moat) this is a beautiful, traditional Buddhist Temple. A big garden area means there’s lots of room for plants, statues and a golden Buddha in a wooden hut with glass front. There’s a large Chedi which is a cone structure behind the temple as is the case with most Buddhist temples. One can tell the age of the Chedi by the lack of straight lines in the work and the growth of moss and other plants over the years. Unfortunately the Temple itself was closed when I arrived at about 12:30, which is unusual for a Buddhist Temple this time of day. I’m sure it’s just attractive inside as it is outside.

Nice place to visit with many flowers along the way. Many kinds of roses there. The weather is pretty cool, it takes about 40m from Chiang Mai, we hired a car so could visit some other places nearby as Doi Suthep, Hmong Village. The police will check your so shouldn’t wear too short or sleeveless T-shirt

We had no clue of it's existence but saw it while were driving to Chiang Dao. It was so magnificent we had to pull over and go in. Such pristine grounds and authentic buildings. It feels like you're in Japan. The main wooden structure/castle is spectacular with one of the largest pond/lakes with thousands of koi fish that you can feed. The place is still semi under construction so it's the perfect time to go now as there aren't too many crowds yet.

Wat Si Don Chai was built about 130 years ago, and during this past month (May 2019) it has been completely repainted. It is a joy to explore and offers a wealth of photographic opportunities. There is a very large main hall, a number of interesting smaller buildings, Statues, accommodation blocks and a vast area for parking - when there is not a special event happening. Wat Si Don Chai often has a variety of ceremonies going on, some of which take up the vast open areas. There is a large stupa at the rear of the main hall, in an area which appears to be a small cemetery with a number of interesting tombs. The main hall is sometimes closed, as it was when I last visited. Wat Si Don Chai is opposite the Pantip Plaza in the night bazaar area of Changklan Road - so very easy to find. Do go, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended.
