About
Khuang Singh Monument (Northern Thai: ᨢ᩠᩵ᩅᨦᩈᩥᨦ᩠ᩉ᩺; Thai: อนุสาวรีย์ข่วงสิงห์; also known as the Twin Lions Monument) is a historical monument of two singhs (lions) in Chiang Mai, Thailand. It was built by King Kawila in 1801, mirroring the style of the Chang Phueak Monument. Surrounded by a pond, the lions symbolized Chiang Mai's renewed power and deterred future Burmese invasions. The twin lions are considered guardian deities who protect the city and are a sacred site revered by the people of Chiang Mai.
