Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan
About
In Chiang Mai’s Old City, Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan anchors the western end of Ratchadamnoen Road—right where the Sunday Walking Street market finishes. Step into Viharn Lai Kham for classic Lanna craftsmanship: gold stenciling, teak pillars, and the revered Phra Buddha Sihing. The old murals here quietly sketch out Chiang Mai life in rich reds and gold.
Go early for calm courtyards and cool shade; late afternoon light makes the chedi glow. Wander the Ho Trai (scripture library) and smaller chapels. It’s an easy stroll from Suan Dok Gate, with coffee carts and fruit shakes lining the approach.
