Overall review: Wat Chom Sawan is an ancient temple built during the reign of King Rama V by Shan people who came to trade in Phrae. What makes this temple special and memorable is the beautiful Burmese (Pagan) architecture that is hard to find in Thailand. The chapel is made entirely of teakwood, painted in maroon.

It is a sacred Buddha statue that the villagers respect. * Valuable antiques: Inside the temple, there are also interesting antiques, such as ivory palm-leaf manuscripts, made from pressed ivory sheets and inscribed with Burmese characters. * Pagoda: In front of the temple, there is a beautiful Burmese-style pagoda. * Atmosphere: The temple is quiet and shady with trees, making it a suitable place to make merit and relax. Brief history: Wat Chom Sawan was built around 1894 by the Shan people (Shan people from Burma) who came to trade in Phrae. Later, the temple deteriorated due to the Shan people robbing Phrae.
