Lonely Planet review for Wat Chiang Yeun

A unique local temple is 16th-century Wat Chiang Yeun, just north-east of Pratu Chang Pheuak. Besides the large northern-style chedi here, the main attraction is an old Burmese colonial-style gate and pavilion on the eastern side of a school ground attached to the wát. This area of Chiang Mai was historically settled by Shan people and the shops still maintain that ethnic identity, catering to Shan and Burmese temple-goers with such products as pickled tea leaves (mêe·ang in Thai) and Shan-style noodles.
