A very replete Buddha. well, actually on first impression, that is what you might think. There is another story, told when you read a plaque, which at first I didn't see. It seems there was a very handsome monk who found his looks to be an impediment, so he turned himself into a fat ugly man, so that he would no longer be a temptation to others. Opposite the west side of Chedi Luang, which was when it was built, the tallest ediface in Chiang Mai. A few centuries later, an earthquake toppled the spire, halving its height. It is still an impressive structure. Visit at sunset - or dawn, if you are an early-bird, to get the best view of its colours.
