Mae Fah Luang Art and Cultural Park is one of the major tourist attractions of the northern Thai city of Chiang Rai, located a few kilometres to the west of the city. The Park has several large halls, which contain a range of exhibits of the historical and Buddhist background of the city and region. One of these halls, the Haw Kham Noi, has at its entrance two wooden lions, facing out ready to pounce on any wrong doers, who attempt to enter the building.
These lions are rather stylised, ~1m high, and sit on all fours, doing their duty. Entry to the Park will cost you 200 baht (~$6), a not bad investment in time and money.
