Wat Phra Singh, Chiang Mai

If you visit Chiang Mai, I recommend paying respects and admiring the beautiful Lanna art and culture at Wat Phra Singh Woramahaviharn, a royal temple also known as Wat Phra Singh. Locals say that this temple houses the Great Chedi containing the Buddha's hair relic, which is the zodiac relic for the Year of the Dragon. Those born in this year are encouraged to visit for good fortune. This temple is located on Sam Lan Road, Phra Singh Subdistrict, Mueang District. It enshrines the Phra Buddha Sihing, which was built in 1345 AD. In front of the entrance roundabout of the viharn, there is a monument of Kruba Srivichai, a former abbot of the temple. Inside, it houses the Phra Si Sanphet (Luang Pho To), the principal Buddha image.

Wat Phra Singh

Wat Phra Singh is a first-class royal temple, Woramahawihan type, located in Phra Singh Subdistrict, Mueang Chiang Mai District. It is an important temple, enshrining Phra Phuttha Sihing, a sacred Buddha image of Chiang Mai and the Lanna Kingdom. The art within the temple is very beautiful. For example, the Royal Vihara is a combination of Lanna and Rattanakosin styles. Inside, there is Phra Si Sanphet (Luang Pho To), a large Buddha image. On the side of the Royal Vihara, you will see the Ho Trai, a half-brick, half-wood building. The outer walls are decorated with stucco deities in the shape of standing deities. This Dharma Hall is considered the most beautiful Dharma Hall in the North. Further inside is Phra Wihan Lai Kham, a true Lanna art temple, and enshrining Phra Phuttha Sihing, which is believed to have been built around the year 700 by three kings from Sri Lanka. It is a place of worship for Buddhists from both Chiang Mai and people from all over the country. In addition, inside the temple, there is the Phra Maha Chedi or Phra That Luang. Which is the pagoda of the year of the Horse according to the beliefs of the Lanna people. If anyone was born in the year of the Horse, try to find time to pay homage to this temple at least once for good luck. Overall, Wat Phra Singh is a very beautiful temple. It is another temple that if anyone comes to visit Chiang Mai, they should not miss to see the exquisite beauty of Lanna art. #DadMomTakesYouToTravel #DadMomInvitesYouToTravel #LetsTravel #DadMomTakesYouToEat #VisitTemples #BeautifulTemples #ThaiTemples #LetsVisitTemples #FaithLeadsTheTravelRoute #TemplesInChiangMai #WatPhraSingh #ChiangMai #TheValueOfTravelIsNotMeasuredByDistanceButByHappiness
