Wat Phra Singh

Wat Phra Singh is one of the most famous and beautiful temples in Chiang Mai. It is located right in the old city center and immediately stands out with its golden stupa and ornate buildings full of intricate details. Inside you’ll find the famous Phra Singh Buddha statue, which the temple is named after. It is a place where locals come to pray, but you can also walk around quietly. Pay attention to the beautiful murals. Especially in the late afternoon, when the light falls just right, it’s truly special. Visit on Sunday evening during the Sunday Night Market when the temple is also open — the atmosphere becomes magical with the beautiful lighting.
