Operating day: Daily
Operating time: 08.00 - 17.00

Wat Ku Tao was formerly called Wat Veru Vanaram.  The temple is located in Tambon Sri Phum near Chiang Mai Stadium.  It is noteworthy for an unusual watermelon shaped pagoda, thus giving such name by the locals.  An exact period of its establishment is somewhat unknown, but from a legend, the Ku Tao chedi contains ashes of Prince Saravadee, the son of King Bureng Nong who ruled Chiang Mai from 1579 to 1607.
