Originally built in the 14th century, Wat Phra Singh houses a revered Buddha statue – the Phra Buddha Sihing. Wat Phra Singh is the most elegant and culturally significant temple within the old city of Chiang Mai.
The murals depicting historical scenes inside the Wihan Lai Kham are worth visiting in their own right.
Long skirts or trousers are required at the temples. Shoulders must also be covered.
