Wat Pa Pao Late 19th century Burmese Shan temple Standing apart from the Lanna temples of Chiang Mai is the Wat Pa Pao, a Shan Burmese style temple located just outside the old city walls and moats. The Wat Pa Pao was founded in 1883 by Burmese Shan during the reign of King Inthawichayanon, ruler of Chiang Mai. During the second half of the 19th century when Chiang Mai was one of the centers of the Thai teak logging industry, a great number of Shan Burmese workers migrated to Chiang Mai from the Shan states in North East Burma, and constructed their own places of worship. On the courtyard surrounded by a one foot tall wall with arched brick entrance gates are a large chedi and a viharn, the temple’s assembly hall. Next to the courtyard are a more recent Shan style viharn and another smaller Burmese style building. The temple’s name translates to “grove of Pao trees temple”.
