Wat Ket Karam (Thai: วัดเกตการาม) or Wat Sa Ket is a Buddhist temple (Wat) in Chiang Mai, Thailand
Wat Ket Karam was built in 1428 during the Phra Jao Sam Fang Kaen era. Around the temple there is the Ket Kaew Chura Manee pagoda which is worshipped by the community and an old market of the Chinese community. Located along the Ping River, in this temple there is a museum that exhibits antiques and old photos that are hard to find which tell the story of the Chiang Mai city as well.
