Wat Pa Pao is a Shan (Tai Yai) Buddhist temple that serves as a centre for Chiang Mai's Shan community. It was built in the late 19th century.

Once a year; Wat Pa Pao plays host to the luk kaeo; or 'crystal sons' - young Shan boys about to be ordained into the Buddhist monkhood. Many of these novices travel to Chiang Mai from surrounding Shan communities at Mae Cham; Mae Rim; Chiang Dao and Fang. This annual Shan ceremony is called Poy Sang Long.
