It is over 500 years old. At the base of the pagoda there is a tunnel. According to legend, it was built by King Tilokarach to be used as a secret passage way for kings to flee enemies. It is also said that there is a kind of mechanism that will punish those who do not have virtue to enter the tunnel. The temple later built an iron gate forbidding people in. What a shame! Only a few people know of Wat Pan Tao, a small interesting temple located close to Wat Chedi Luang. Many call Wat Pan Tao a “stamp” of Wat Chedi Luang because it is small and located in a small corner of Wat Chedi Luang. The chapel of Wat Pan Tao is over a hundred years old, very small and built entirely of teak wood. A magnificent model of a peacock carved out of teak wood adorns above the entrance of the viharn. Don’t miss Wat Pan Tao. Highlight Around Chiang Mai Contact Telephone: - Fax: - Hot line: - Address Around Chiang Mai Special -            Email this Video l Embed Code Share Video      Add Comment
