Wat Kitti is an abandoned temple inside Anuban Chiang Mai School, Rachamangala Road, Mueang District, Chiang Mai.
Theres no proof of when it was built but some evidence had stated that the funeral of the Princess Mother of Phra Mueang Kaew was held here. People who had seen the temple remarked that it was a large temple with a vihara built with over ten huge teak pillars. After it was left abandoned the posts were used to build Wat Tung Yu and the wood from the scripture library was moved to be rebuilt at Wat Phuak Taem. Other buildings were left alone and slowly crumbled leaving only the chedi. In the early years of the school, the people called it Wat Kitti School as they used to call the temple Wat Kitti. During the 6th month of the Lanna Calendar, a ceremony of offering sacred water to the chedi is held to show the peoles respect to the temple.
