This is the oldest tree in the city planted here in the 1400s to mark the founding site of Chiang Mai. Every wat complex has a bodhi tree... the sacred tree under which Buddha reached enlightenment. But this was the tallest bodhi I have seen by far.The wat is also the oldest in the city. This complex had five or six beautiful temples on the grounds, but the giant brick temple is the oldest and most revered. We especially liked the elephants....
