One temple in Chiang Mai, 137 manuscripts, and a five-minute walk to two more wats. The only place in this archive where the shelf and the map meet by name.
- Wat Chiang Manสถานที่ · a place
Wat Chiang Man — recorded at 18.7938 N, 98.9894 E, inside the square moat of the old city. A registered Thai historic site, and listed as active.
- Wat Chiang Manวัด · a temple
The catalogue names this wat as the holding place of 137 manuscripts. Of every temple named in the corpus, it is the only one that also appears on the map by exactly this name — the others are mostly in Phrae, Lampang and Nan, outside the mapped area. One bridge, and a great many still to build.
- Sap palacikใบลาน · manuscript
One of the 137: a palm-leaf text catalogued from this temple's collection. The manuscript is here; the building it came from is a bus ride away.
- วัดล่ามช้างสถานที่ · a place
143 metres away — วัดล่ามช้าง, close enough that the two are a single stop on foot.
- วัดเชียงยืนสถานที่ · a place
289 metres on, วัดเชียงยืน. Three wats, under half a kilometre, and a shelf of manuscripts between them.
That was a trail. Every step is a real record in the archive, and every link on it goes somewhere you can keep pulling.
