Wat Chang Kham

Wat Chang Kham ('Temple of Elephant's Burden'; Thai: วัดช้างค้ำ) is a ruined temple that is part of the Wiang Kum Kam archaeological area, outside of Chiang Mai in northern Thailand. The name is derived from elephant figures supporting one of the structures.

The modern site is within the grounds of a working temple and is adjacent to Wat That Noi, one of the smallest sites in the Wiang Kum Kam archaeological group.
