Wat Chedi Luang



Wat Chedi Luang, Chiang Rai.

This Buddhist temple has bright Buddha images in the Lanna (Northern Thai) and Sukothai styles.  

The yellow bands around the ancient tree and stupa indicate that they are considered sacred.  

The shining metallic poles leaning against the tree are changed in a ritual every Songkran festival (Thai New Years)
