Wat Saen Fang
The Wat Saen Fang is an old temple located in Chiang Mai. The chedi and the ubosot on the west side of the compound is late 19th century Burmese, built during the Burmese occupation of Chiang Mai.
Like Wat Phan Tao, the viharn at Wat Saen Fang used to serve as the ho kham (palace residence) of the local ruler, Chao Kawilorot, in the 1860s. His successor converted the structure into a viharn in 1878. The wat has a fairly typical layout, with the east-facing viharn flanking a large chedi to the west. The Burmese-style chedi is the central building of the wat, with a ho trai and ubosot located to the west.
