| Etiquette When Visiting a Temple Thais prefer visitors to temples to cover their bodies as a sign of respect for their religion. Religious objects like Buddha images and chedi should not be climbed upon or touched. When Thais sit on floors, they do not point their feet in a direction worthy of respect, such as a Buddha image, monk, or a teacher. They consider the head as "high" and the feet as "low" |
| Wat Jet Yot |
|
Wat Jed Yod one of the least visited major temples. Of more interest is the exterior, on which several sculpted figures survive. Whilst many parts are missing, you can still see some finely detailed figures. The whole is unusually asymmetrical, with the figures on one side seated, while those on the other are standing. Several other interesting chedis dot the grounds of this rather large temple. An empty platform is directly in front of the entrance to the "cave." Directly behind are two more chedi One of them, presumably the larger, contains the remains of the king who built the temple. The whole place was rather empty, and this on a weekend when the rest of Chiang Mai was crowded with many Thai and foreign tourists for a long weekend. There weren't even many monks to be seen around the place, though one young novice stood looking at the entrance of the cave. Further on is another chedi, in front of which is a very large ancient platform, which now has a small, obviously modern building on it. Unlike many of Chiang Mai's other large temples, Wat Jed Yod is seldom visited by tourists. Its an interesting and quiet place to spend some time away from the crowds that you'll find in most other places in Chiang Mai. |
Jet Yod translates to "seven peaks" and refers to the Search for the Best Hotel Deals in Thailand
