Lonely Planet review

A stone slab inscription, engraved in 1581 and erected at Wat Chiang Man bears the earliest known reference to the city's 1296 founding. It is thus thought to be the oldest wat in the city, and founded by Phaya Mengrai. The wat features typical northern Thai temple architecture, with massive teak columns inside the bòt (central sanctuary; sǐm in Northern Thai).
