One of the hidden treasures in Chiang Mai. Wat Pa Dara Pirom or The Dara Pirom Palace Museum in Mae Rim is located inside the Dara Rasamee Military Camp. It has been built by Princess Dara Rasamee. She has been born in 1873 as daughter of the 7th Lord of Chiang Mai. During a visit in Bangkok she met King Chulalongkorn, who took her as one of his concubines in 1886.
