Rai Mae Fah Luang was a school for Northern hill tribes but now is art and cultural park. Three main buildings, Haw Kham, Haw Kham Noi, and Haw Kaew, are made from Teak wood in Lanna Architectural design. The highlight is Haw Kham which built to give blessings on the 84th King Mother's birthday. In the hall presents Phra Pra Toh, which we pray for good health and protection, the collections of old northern Buddha candlesticks, wood Tungs, etc.

Nice photos! This reminds me of the camera I lost during my stay at resort Chiang Rai. I lost it in one of the jungle trails, it was not expensive but I lost about 300 photos.
