Elephants, Wat Chedi Luang, Chiang Mai
These elephants are to be found at Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai. The temple is about 600 years old and once housed one of the most important relics in Thailand - the Emerald Buddha which is now housed in its own temple in Bangkok. The chedi, which was destroyed either by earthquake or King Taksin cannons, was the tallest structure in Chiang Mai.
