Wat Yang Kuang, วัดยางกวง, is located in Tambon Haiya, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai Province, Thailand. A famous Buddha head, Phra San Sae, was found at the temple and subsequently moved to the Chiang Mai Museum. The large Buddha in a separate Wihan features a replica of the Phra San Sae head. Built as a defence line or not, this temple's history goes back a long time. It was deserted about 200 years ago. Donations are collected at this point to built new temple buildings. A big Buddha head was found here, called Phra San Sae, which was taken to the museum in Chiang Mai. The Buddha head seen at this temple is actually a replica. A large Buddha image is seated behind the Buddha head and to the side stands a ancient chedi.
