Wat Doi Ngam Meuang is a Buddhist hilltop temple in the city of Chiang Rai. Located on a hill, the temple is accessible via a long staircase flanked with naga-balustrades. On the hill's plateau, adjacent to the entrance, eight tall wooden pillars have been erected...

Their number is representative for the Buddha's Eightfold Path and each one displays bas-relief carvings with scenes from history, depicting mostly local village life, as well as mahouts and King Mengrai on elephants.

Further is an ancient monument known as Ku Phra Chao Mengrai, i.e. a ku (กู่) or stupa containing the ashes Poh Khun Mengrai, who in 1262 AD founded the city that was named after him and whose statue is erected in the front of the stupa.
