Wat Sri Don Moon is a historic Buddhist temple located on the outskirts of Chiang Mai and set in a lush tropical garden with plenty of artificial ponds and waterfalls (fig.).

Its wihaan, the main prayer hall named Maha Wihaan Boon Barami, houses the temple's principal Buddha statue, named Luang Pho Phet. It is seated in the maravijaya pose, also known as marapajon (fig.), depicting his victory over Mara, the destroyer and tempter.

The walls are adorned with embossed silver and colourful bas-reliefs of mythological figures and characters from Buddhism, including of the demon Mara, the personification of evil, who is depicted riding an elephant.

The back gable and wall of the temple's wihaan features a large staircase that descends from an heavenly abode and a Buddha statue standing in the pose of disclosing the worlds, which is known in Thai as pahng peut lohk (fig.).

The temple also features a traditional Lan Na-style monastic residence, named Kuti Song Lan Na Yana Sangwararaam, which roughly translates to ‘Monastic Abode of Wisdom and Restraint’.
