Wat Phra Singh

 

This temple is the second most important temple in Chiang Mai behind Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. There are three main buildings within the compound. The first temple here was built in 1345. But in 1367 an important Buddha statue called Phra Buddha Singh was enshrined and this is where the temple gets it’s name.  The three main buildings within the compound are Viharn Luang, Viharn Lai Kham and Ho Trai. There is no fee to enter the complex but if you want to enter Viharn Luang there is a 20 baht fee for foreigners.

Directions: The Wat is at the far west side of the old city at the end on Rachadamneon rd.
