Wat Phra That Doi Kham – Golden Temple & 17‑Meter Buddha Overlooking Chiang Mai

Exploring the old ruins and destroyed temples.
🌟 Wat Phra That Doi Kham – The Golden Temple of Chiang Mai | Thailand Travel Vlog & Slow Travel Experience
Discover Wat Phra That Doi Kham – Chiang Mai’s shimmering golden temple nestled in the hills of northern Thailand. In this cinematic Thailand travel vlog, we take you on a mindful journey through peaceful temple pathways, local artisan stalls, and boho‑chic markets, all accompanied by ambient sounds and gentle narration.

Wat Nan Chang (Thai: วัดหนานช้าง; "Nan Chang's Temple") is a ruined 16th or 17th century temple in the Wiang Kum Kam archaeological complex near modern Chiang Mai in northern Thailand.

Excavated from 2002 to 2003, the temple primarily provides evidence of ancient flooding in the region, having been inundated by some 1.8 meters of sediment. It is speculated that it was built to face a now dried up route of the Ping River, a major transportation and trade route of historic periods.
