Wat Mahawan
Wat Mahawan lies a short walk east of Tha Phae Gate. Its buildings bring Lanna and Burmese architectural influences together in a temple setting just outside the old-city wall.

The mix of Lanna and Burmese details gives Wat Mahawan a strong visual identity. Its compound is close to Tha Phae Gate, so it works well on an eastward walk along Tha Phae Road. Look closely at the decorative forms and the relationship between the temple buildings, then continue toward the riverside.
