Embrace Chiang Saen’s Cultural Uniqueness
Wandering around the town to discover natural and architectural features demonstrating the Chiang Saen people’s connection to nature’s wisdom.
Traveling to a secret land in northern Thailand, such as Chiang Saen, is one of life’s most exciting adventures. Chiang Saen is a great place to visit if you want to broaden your horizons and learn more about the northern heritage, culture, and architecture.
Visit the Ancient and Sacred Temple at Wat Pa Sak Chiang Saen
Wat Pa Sak Chiang Saen was established during Phra Phaya Saen Phu in 1930. This famous temple was erected to house artifacts with 300 teak trees planted around it. Architecture in the Dvaravati era has been a blend of art and architecture. Chinese art was a source of inspiration for several of the stucco designs.
Taste the Best Glutinous Rice in Thailand
Khao Niew Khiaw Ngoo Glutinous Rice is a local grain grown in the area historically known as Chiang Saen plains. The agriculture area covers Mae Chan, Chiang Saen, Mae Sai, Mae Fah Luang, and Doi Luang in the present day. This is where the country’s best glutinous rice is farmed. Because of sufficient water and hot springs in Pa Tung, minerals have accumulated in the watershed for millions of years.
Explore Hand-woven silk at Ban San That
Visit the hand-woven fabric tradition of “Ban San That,” the village in Chiang Saen that cultivates mulberries from seed to harvest. They also invited Chalermchai Kositpipat, a notable Thai artist, to create gorgeous pattern designs. They called this pattern “With Love” in honor of their loved ones.
