The Three Kings Monument stands in a central square, depicting King Mengrai, King Ramkhamhaeng, and King Ngam Muang, who together founded Chiang Mai in 1296. The statue is a focal point for locals and tourists, often surrounded by street vendors and performers. Visitors can learn about the city's origins from nearby plaques, and the monument serves as a meeting point for exploring the old city. It's especially lively during festivals and at night when illuminated.
