Visit Wat Phra Singh

The last temple you will visit within the vicinity of the old ancient wall of Chiang Mai is Wat Phra Singh, a temple built in the 14th Century that displays the stunning classic Lanna architectural style proudly with its blindingly gold chedi and several teak wood temples, all within the temple's courtyard. One of the most prominent architectures is the huge golden chedi that reflects sunlight in all directions. It is so blindingly beautiful that you have no choice but to stare at it until your eyes are sore.

The temple is comprised of the golden chedi, the main prayer hall, the Lai Kham prayer hall that contains the Phra Singh Buddha image from which the temple's name was derived, and the Luang prayer hall that housed the revered Phra Chao Thong Tip Buddha image. The temple opens from 6 AM to 8 PM and you will have to pay 50 THB to get into the temple ground.
