Munniti Chiang Rai is a Chinese-style Taoist and Mahayana Buddhist temple, an unusual contrast with the Theravada temples that dominate northern Thailand. The site has colorful devotional halls and images connected with Chinese folk religion and the Goddess of Mercy.
It is a modest local stop rather than a major sight, but it adds useful variety to a Chiang Rai temple walk, especially for visitors interested in the city's Chinese and Shan cultural layers.
