Swan Tree Temple

The Intrawas Temple, or the "Quen Tree Temple," retains the architectural beauty and faith of the community, despite the change in time, to receive the award for the preservation of Lanna Architecture from the Siam Architects Association Nationals. The quadrangle building is an important building that is not common in the Chiang Mai Temple. It is assumed to be the shelter of the Golden Relic and used for the ritual of the Relic of Gold, with the evidence of the water and the bun of the Golden Relic. If the relics are summoned, there may be a three-seven-day sojourn for the people to worship and wash water. There is also a "sleeping tower" or temple that is used to enshrine the Golden Relic in the evening. It's called a "sleeping tower" to summon relics before they are brought to worship the next day, including a "long pavilion" or balcony.

The temple is a place for relics, where a procession of elephants and horses summons relics to stay for at least one night. The temple area has two wells, according to the old people of the past, that serve as a place for women and men to dress and bathe when relics are summoned. At night, there is a sojourn on the porch, or "long pavilion."

The Quen Tree Temple has been praised for its preservation, receiving an award from the Siam Nationals Architects Association in 1989, which distinguished itself in the preservation and preservation of site buildings ranging from temple walls, long pavilions, quadrangle pavilions, viharas and surrounding areas. It is considered to be one of the most complete and ancient Lanna architecture. In addition, the Quen Tree Temple is part of the nomination to be listed as the World Heritage Site of Chiang Mai, including the magnificence of architecture, especially viharas, has also been taken as the prototype of the Royal Hall in the World Horticultural Fair hosted by Chiang Mai Province.

The current preservation of the building is funded by donations from Buddhists and tourists, earning about $50,000 a month to spend on temple activities. The interest in the preservation of the building began by studying the history and courtyard leaves of the German "Dr. Hans Penth" and "Nan Bang Kam Tui Green," who lived at the temple, making the Guen Tree Temple known and attracted the attention of the Thai public, leading to its preservation and listing as an ancient site in the year 2000. 1983 A conservation or restoration project was carried out with the support of the community and devout people, with the award of Outstanding Architectural Conservation, and during the restoration period by the Department of Arts, community mechanics were involved in the operation.
