Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan

What has impressed me that Thai Wat are a sanctuary of Nature: fishes gambol in ponds pigeons pick food squirrels surreptitiously climb the trees. Here in phras Singh thou not water pond but plenty of greenery in conversation with thai temple architecture. Only thing disturbing was the side road on which traffic plies creating pollution in air and and in ears. There is a school it seems and diesel fume emitting buses carry children home may be. Buddha in art is in thai style with flyers for kindness to all living Beings hung around the golden stupa. I think they call Stupa Chedi here. May be I am wrong. Chiang Mai old town seems like a Buddhist pilgrimage. Buddha Namah!

A must visit place. I went here with my partner and it’s a really beautiful old temple. Specially during the sunset it shines beautifully! Every detail of the temple is just mesmerising. Evening prayers calms one down with monks chanting soothingly. As a foreigner you got to buy ticket but it’s worth the price

Beautiful temple with plenty to see. Highly recommend checking out the outside and inside of the temple buildings as there is so much detail and artistry on the statues, walls, and ceilings.

Highly recommend visiting this temple. Inside, there are a few shrines where you can take off your shoes and step inside to look around or worship the gods, which feels very spiritual. This is one of the best temples I’ve visited during my time in Chiang Mai.

Wat Phra Singh – A Jewel of Chiang Mai Wat Phra Singh is one of Chiang Mai’s most iconic temples, famous for its stunning Lanna architecture and the revered Phra Singh Buddha statue. The intricate details, golden accents, and peaceful courtyards create a serene yet awe-inspiring atmosphere. Walking through its halls feels like stepping back in time, surrounded by centuries of history and devotion. A must-visit for anyone seeking culture, beauty, and spiritual energy in the heart of the old city.

Beautiful complex of temples situated at walking distance from the Chang Mai centre. It has some temples dedicated to monks as well as the classics Buddhist temple. I appreciate in particular the golden "stupas" situated at the back of the main temple. Worth a visit if you are around!

A great place that is full of legend, history and culture. I joined an evening walking tour of three ancient temples and was briefed by my guide Vasit on all the details. Vasit knows not only the temples, he also knew all the details about the histories of the temples, the reasons for their construction. The tour was great. It was in the evening evening and avoided the day time heat. The temples also gave a different vibe in the night time. Unfortunately, the tour was interrupted by a long and heavy thunderstorm.

Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan is one of the most beautiful and important temples in Chiang Mai. The architecture is stunning, with intricate Lanna-style details and golden chedis that shine brightly in the sunlight. Inside the main hall, the atmosphere is calm and peaceful, perfect for prayer or quiet reflection. The temple grounds are very well maintained, with shaded areas and smaller shrines to explore. The murals inside the ordination hall are especially impressive, showing traditional stories and culture of the region. It’s a place not only for tourists but also for locals who come to worship. If you are in Chiang Mai, visiting Wat Phra Singh is a must to experience the history, beauty, and serenity of Northern Thailand’s temple culture.
