Thailand: Buddha in the smaller, older viharn at Wat Buppharam, Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. Wat Buppharam was originally constructed in 1497. In 1797 Chao (Prince) Kawila, a scion of the Tipchak dynasty, began his ritual circumambulation of Chiang Mai from this point. This ritual was required to formally re-occupy the city after two centuries of Burmese domination. Chiang Mai is often called Thailand’s ‘Rose of the North’, and is the country’s second city and a popular tourist destination due primarily to its mountainous scenery, colourful ethnic hilltribes and their handicrafts.
