Wat Inthakhin Sadeu Muang วัดอินทขีลสะดือเมือง , Chiang Mai

Wat Inthakhin Sadeu Muang (GPS: 18.78968, 98.9869; Thai: วัดอินทขีลสะดือเมือง ), or simply Wat Sadeu Muang, is a small Thai Buddhist temple in the heart of the Old City of Chiang Mai, Thailand. This relatively small temple is located just beside Intrawarorot Road, with no room for a compound of its own. Across the road from this temple is the Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Centre, with the Three Kings Monument around the corner.

Wat Sadeu Muang dates back to the very founding of Chiang Mai by King Mangrai. So it is one of the oldest temples in the city, alongside Wat Chiang Man. In its present incarnation, it comprises a viharn (assembly hall) and two brick chedi (stupas). The octagonal chedi dates from the 14th century while the circular moldings is from the 15th-16th century.

Wat Sadeu Muang was where the city pillar of Chiang Mai was originally placed. Perhaps that's how it got its name (which means Monastery of the City Navel). For undocumented reason, the city pillar was moved by Chao Kawila to its present location at Wat Chedi Luang.
