This week’s photo is of a Buddha statue on the wall of Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Saen, Thailand. The construction of the temple apparently began in the year 1291, making it very old. The historic city of Chiang Saen, located on the Mekong River, is full of interesting ruins dating back to the 13th century.
Nice shot!

Thanks Roy 🙂
Great photograph. I haven’t been to Chiang Saen before. I think I will have to check it out the next time we are in Thailand.

Thanks Deb! Chiang Saen is a small town with an interesting history, definitely worth checking out. Also, when I went there I was the only tourist around as everyone just heads straight to the Golden Triangle!
Great shot! I’ve never been to Chang Saen too.. The idea of ruins dating back to the 13th century makes me want to visit it soon. 🙂
I was actually surprised at how few people seem to go to Chiang Saen, given it’s proximity to Chiang Rai and the Golden Triangle. The ruins are definitely worth checking out, I hope you can get there soon! Cheers
