Wat Puttha En (???????????) is a typically northern Thai-style temple; established in 1868. It is chiefly remarkable for its small; wooden bot nam (????????) or ordination hall; built atop pillars in the centre of a square lotus pond. Such 鈥榳ater chapels' are rare across Thailand. The newly renovated viharn is attractive but unremarkable; but behind; on etiolated red wooden piles; stands a northern-style ho trai (scripture library); decorated with red and gold lai kram patterns.

Tucked away in a narrow valley; Mae Chaem (???????) must rank as one of the least accessible corners of Chiang Mai. Located on the westernmost frontier of the province; it is isolated from the main Chiang Mai valley by the East Thanon Thongchai Range dominated by Doi Inthanon (???????????; at 2;565m Thailand's highest mountain); and from neighbouring Mae Hong Son province to the west by the Central Thanon Thongchai Range; including Doi Khun Bong (????????; 1;772m).
