Thailand: Buddha figure in the old viharn, Wat Hang Dong, Chiang Mai, northern Thailand. Wat Hang Dong is a typical example of traditional Lan Na temple architecture. The old viharn at this temple is a little more elaborate than its counterpart at nearby Wat Ton Kwen, but is essentially similar in shape, style and appearance. Also dark and intimate, with a low, sweeping, three-tiered roof, the viharn shelters a collection of Buddha images, at least two of which - to the right and left of the main Buddha image - are distinctively Lao in style and yet somehow strangely primitive.
