Thailand: Murals, Wat Buak Khrok Luang, Chiang Mai. Wat Buak Khrok Luang, located in Ban Buak Khrok Luang Moo 1, Chiang Mai – Sankamphaeng Road, Chiang Mai, is a small and typically northern Thai Buddhist temple. It is believed to have been founded in the 15th century during the time of the independent Lanna Kingdom (1292-1558), and was extensively restored during the reign of Chao Kaew Naowarat (r. 1911-1939), the last King of Chiang Mai. The temple is chiefly noteworthy for its main viharn, which is purely Lanna in inspiration, with a four-tiered roof and elegant naga balustrade entrance.
