Behind the National Museum is the temple of Wat Jedi Luang which was built on the orders of King Saen Phu, the 3rd king of the Mengrai Dynasty. The Jedi (Chedi) is regarded as the "Grand Jedi" and is of solid brick construction typical of the times. Another temple, also built by King Saen Phu, is Wat Pa Sak which is sited within what used to be a forest of soaring teak trees. Sadly, the teak trees have long fallen to the axe but the main temple jedi has been restored and rises above the surrounding temple ruins. The "filigree" embellishments hint at some Burmese influence.
