Wat Kai Kaeo วัดไก่แก้ว , Lamphun

Wat Kai Kaeo, Lamphun (26 October, 2006)


Wat Kai Kaeo (GPS: 18.58792, 99.01466; Thai: วัดไก่แก้ว ) is a Thai Buddhist temple in Lamphun, Thailand. It is located to the west of Ku Chang-Ku Ma.

Wat Kai Kaeo has a bell tower that combines as the drum tower. The name of this temple, if I am not mistaken, translates as Temple of the Glass Chicken. Not sure why, why there is a statue of a chicken in the temple grounds.

Another interesting feature at Wat Kai Kaeo is a brick octagonal chedi, possibly in ruins. At the top of this chedi is another chicken statue.
