Posted On Tuesday, January 1, 2008 at at 7:02 AM by Wintertime
An old and important community of Northern Thailand, Phrae was founded after Chiang Mai had been established as the capital of the Lanna Thai kingdom. With one of the largest reserves of teak forests in the country, it is located on the banks of the Yom River, some 550 kilometres from Bangkok.
Phrae covers an area about 6,538 square kilometres and surrounded on all sides by mountains with level plains in the middle.
Phrae is administratively divided into the following districts: Muang, Sung Men, Den Chai, Long, Wang Chin, Song, Rong Kwang and Nong Muang Khai.
Book your hotel in Phrae before you leave home and save money!
If you have already visited this Northern province, please share your highlights with other visitors to Thailand Guidebook.Wat Luang on Kham Lue Road in town is an ancient and principal temple built at the same time as Phrae was established. Several restoration works have taken place. Some of its major features include the Wihan and Chiang Saen-style Chedi enshrining a Holy Relic brought over from Myanmar. Others are the museum housing various antiquities including several 500-year-old Buddha statues and an ancient Lanna-style wooden structure.
To the west of Wat Luang is Wat Phra Non near the site of the old city walls. Some of the architectural works include the Chiang Saen-style Ubosot with narrow openings to let in light instead of normal windows. The lintel is made of wood with graceful designs. The eaves over the Wihan are all fretted, a symbol of northern architecture. lnside is a 9 metre-long plaster Reclining Buddha.
Wat Phra Bat Ming Muang Iocated on Charoen Nakhon Road near the town hall was built in 1995 by combining two ancient temples. There is an old Chedi containing a replica of the Holy Footprint inside.
