This is the most famous temple in Chiang Mai. Immediately striking is the central sanctuary of large size. It is covered with beautiful mosaics.
The area around the temple also deserves attention. All bushes trimmed, everywhere clean. There are also cafes and massage parlors. This all tells us that the place is really popular with tourists.
Local Thais come here to worship the Buddha image. It is kept in a small chapel and is located in the northern part of the complex. Rumor has it that the idol was brought to Chiang Mai from Sri Lanka. It was installed in 1367.
It is also worth paying attention to the beautiful chapel, which is decorated with golden dragons. This piece of architecture will also pleasantly surprise you.
