Wat Pan Tao is not one of Chiangmai’s most famous wats but this small temple with its attractive teak viharn is worth a visit and it's located right next door to the prestigious Wat Chedi Luang .
Originally built as an ancillary temple to the royal temple, Chedi Luang in the 1300s.  The current viharn was constructed end of 19 century from recycled desk lamp wood moved here in 1875 by King Inthawichayanon.  It is one of the remaining all wood temple buildings in Chiangmai which had been part of the Royal Residence of the King. 
During Loy Krathong Festival which takes place each year on a full moon of the 12th month of the Thai Lunar Calendar [typically November], monks  at the temple will light and release floating balloons made of paper at night.
