Lonely Planet review for Wat Pha Mahathat

Wat Pha Mahathat is named for a venerable Lanna-style thâat erected in 1548. The sǐm in front, built in 1910, is quite ornate, with carved wooden windows and portico, rosette-gilded pillars, exterior Jataka (stories of the Buddha's past lives) reliefs and a roof in the Luang Prabang style lined with temple bells. The massive naga along the steps, also Lanna in style, resemble those at Wat Phra That Doi Suthep in Chiang Mai, Thailand.
