Hello everyone. Yesterday I shared stories and photos of a buddhist temple of the Tai Yai people (hill tribes) in my district where I live. Today I change a scenery to a Thai temple in Chiang Dao district. Chiang Dao District is another rural district in Chiang Mai Province with a multi-ethnic population and a mostly buddhist population. Therefore, this district has many temples. One of the temples in Chiang Dao District is Wat Mae Eed, The temple with many beautiful and outstanding sculptures.
Me and my wife happened to see this temple last Tuesday. We were shopping and walk around at the Tuesday market of this district and happened to see this temple. Absolutely, when me and my wife see this temple. Even though we will see the temple from a distance. We like and fascinated by the beautiful of this temple. We did not hesitate and immediately went to Wat Mae Eed. And I drove up a low hill to go to this temple.
At the Tuesday market area, you can see Wat Mae Eed here from a distance.
Driving from the Tuesday market to Wat Mae Eed.
When we arrive at Mae Eed temple. Outside the temple in front there are various sculptures and buddha images. On the right side are sculptures of several novices.
On the left side are sculptures of buddha images, lions and Buddha images. English and Thai letters are the name of the temple. In addition, there are large and small gongs.
This temple does not have an entrance arch. But at the entrance there will be a lion statue being restored.
As we walked inside the temple, we saw sculptures of hungry ghosts, angel of death and ghosts in buddhist hell.
Then my wife and I walked to the left side of the temple. We saw many buddha images on the corridors. And a large pavilion used for religious ceremonies. In addition, there were many white angel sculptures.
Inside this large pavilion, there are many black principal buddha image and many buddha images.
We walk to the corridor where there are many beautiful hanging mobile Lanna art to see them. And we enjoy the beauty of these hanging mobile Lanna art.

Beside the brown wooden pavilion is a beautiful Lanna style ordination hall (ubosot). White ordination hall (ubosot) decorated with beautiful stucco patterns in Lanna style painted in gold. Area front of the ordination hall (ubosot), there are two giant sculptures and many novices sculptures.
When we walked to the courtyard inside the temple, This area is a view point. We can see the view of the community and nature in that area.Me and my wife enjoy and relax at this view point. And I think friends must like it like us. Take a look.
Then we took pictures of the sculptures area the courtyard. Area the courtyard there are many beautiful large and small sculptures. These sculptures have impressed us.
