Wat Luang Khun Win, an ancient temple nestled amidst the mountains | Chiang Mai
It is an ancient temple located high in the mountains, surrounded by cool and refreshing nature throughout the year.
The name Wat Luang Khun Win comes from "Wat Luang," meaning a large or magnificent temple, and "Khun Win," referring to the source of the Mae Win River. Located in Ban Khun Win, Mae Win Subdistrict, Mae Wang District, Chiang Mai Province, it is a temple over 700 years old, situated in the middle of a forest with abundant forest plants and many species of birds, due to its location in the forest and far from the community. In 1954, Kruba Unruean Suphatthado of Wat Khuan Nimit, Makham Luang Subdistrict, San Pa Tong District, a disciple of Kruba Chao Sriwichai, renovated and brought it back to prosperity. Today, it is a very beautiful temple with Lanna architecture amidst the cool atmosphere of the lush green forest. It serves as a residence for monks and novices, as well as a place for laymen and laywomen to practice Dharma.
