Wat Sri Suphan - Silver Temple

Stunning temple with intricate silver carvings all over. Sadly, women aren’t allowed inside the main building, but the other ones in the complex are available. The entrance fee is 50 THB for foreigners. There are a lot of beautiful things to see on the premises, and there’s also Tok Sen massage place where I even saw the monks getting it. The price for massage was 100 THB for 10 minutes, 300 for half an hour, and 500 for an hour.

This is an absolutely beautiful temple and very much worth the visit. Its architecture is unique, as the main hall (ubosot) is almost entirely covered in silver and aluminum, featuring incredibly detailed craftsmanship that shines in the sun. It's different from any other temple in the area. It is important to note that while women can enter and explore the entire surrounding complex, entry into the main silver hall is permitted only for men, due to old Lanna traditions. To visit, there is an entrance fee of 50 baht per person, which must be paid in cash.

This is a nice temple because it is different than most. And you can walk easily from the old city. However it is small, which I guess is good, as it does not take long to visit. There are Monk Chats and a meditation center. You also have to buy a ticket to get in, which is very touristy. But worth the visit.

Lanna art that wat srisuphan has is specialized is evident not only in the unique silver art work but can be seen being practiced by monks too. You can DIY. Exceptional was the carvings of different cities and respect for Islamic and Chridtian culture. All great cities like Rome Newyork or Agra are depicted. Very narrative! The artwork called engraving required finesse of a jeweller and the artist have really excelled. One visit is not enough!

Beautiful artistry on the outside of the temple. Women are unable to go inside the temple, only men- as monks can only be men. Price was 50 Baht per person. You can see the temple from outside the area you have to pay but I would recommend paying and going inside to see the detail of the temple.

Wat Sri Suphan also known as Silver Temple was founded around early 16th Century. It's most distinctive feature is a silver orientation hall with richly decorated metalwork. You need to buy a ticket of 50 Thai Baht per person to enter the temple complex.

Beautiful silver temple. We went at night about 30 minutes before they closed so we didn’t really get to see the full thing but we were leaving the next day so we went anyway. It was 50 baht per person for the entry. We were given the orange flower thing from a Buddha and my husband went into the temple (men only).
