Wat Saen Fang was originally constructed in the 14th century, but none of the structures visible today date from before the 19th century. Chiang Mai is often called Thailands ‘Rose of the North, and is the countrys second city and a popular tourist destination due primarily to its mountainous scenery, colourful ethnic hilltribes and their handicrafts. Founded in 1296 by King Mengrai as the capital of his Lanna kingdom, Chiang Mai was later overrun by Burmese invaders in 1767. The city was then left abandoned between 1776 and 1791. Chiang Mai formally became part of Siam in 1774 by an agreement with local prince Chao Kavila, after the Siamese King Taksin helped drive out the Burmese. Chiang Mai then slowly grew in cultural, trading and economic importance.
