At roughly the center of the old walled city, in the district where the former rulers of ancient Chiang Mai built their palaces, stands the monument to the 'Three Kings' -- King Mengrai, the founder of Chiang Mai; his contemporary and reportedly good friend King Ramkamhaeng of Sukothai; and King Ngam Muang of Payao. According to legend, the three worked together to lay out the city of Chiang Mai. The sculpture has become something of an iconic image representing Chiang Mai. The sculpture stands in front of the old provincial administration building, which now houses the Chiang Mai City Art & Cultural Center. Taken on clear sunny day under a bight blue sky.
