The temple is located on the Walking Street of Wualai. The ordination hall was built with silver and decorated with silverware throughout. Every Saturday evening, there is a ceremony of circumambulating the silver ordination hall with candles. There is also a performance of beating the drums of victory for tourists to watch.

This review will take you to temples in Chiang Mai. We have chosen to visit temples with auspicious names and prominent temples in Chiang Mai city center, which can be reached by walking or taking a red taxi. If anyone is interested in following our footsteps, we would like to offer our blessings in advance.

This trip was a 2-day, 1-night adventure. In the first part, I want to talk about the lovely and stylish Japanese-style Archita hostel, which is located not far from Wat Phra Singh and is within walking distance. We arrived early in the morning, so we left our bags and came back to check in at 2:30 PM. Let's take a look at the accommodation.

Just the front looks like you're already in Japan, doesn't it? Once you pass through the gate, you'll find a Japanese-style garden like this.

Breakfast is available for an additional 160 baht per set and is highly recommended. (All food here is MSG-free.) While breakfast is optional, it includes tea, coffee, and bread. However, we strongly suggest ordering the breakfast set as it is truly delicious.

There are many types of accommodation here. Try to check it out http://architahostel.com/. I recommend booking directly with their website because booking through other agents will show that the accommodation is full (we have been there 555+).

We stayed in a 4-bed dorm for 500 baht/person, but there were only two of us that day, so it was very comfortable.

The bathrooms are shared and clean, with amenities such as shower gel and shampoo provided. I did not take any pictures as I did not initially plan to write a review.

The accommodation was fantastic, and the beautiful yukata outfits were perfect for taking photos. We loved it!

This concludes the accommodation review. I found it to be excellent and wanted to share it with you.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Let's begin with the primary purpose of this trip.

1. Wat Phra That Doi Kham

This temple is accessible by red songthaew, a type of shared taxi. We hired one for 500 baht, which included a two-hour wait for our return trip.

The primary purpose of this trip is to pray to the "Phra Chao Tan Jai" deity for immediate blessings. It is recommended to purchase 10 jasmine garlands from below for 80 baht. Alternatively, garlands can be purchased individually for 10 baht each from above. However, donations are voluntary and based on personal preference.

In addition, this temple also has a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the Royal Park Rajapruek.

2. Wat Chiang Man: Pray for stability in both career and life success.

According to historical records, Wat Phra That Hariphunchai is a temple of great significance, associated with both Queen Chama Thewi, the first monarch of the Hariphunchai Kingdom, and King Mengrai, the founder of the Lanna Kingdom.

3. Wat Duang Dee: From Wat Chiang Man, walk towards the Three Kings Monument (approximately 10 minutes). Walk past the Lanna Folklife Museum for about 100 meters, and you will find an alley on the left-hand side. This temple is where we come to pray for good fortune, just like its name suggests.

4. Wat Inthakhil Sadue Mueang is located next to the Three Kings Monument. The Lanna-style ordination hall houses the revered Luang Pho Khao, a 700-year-old Lanna-style Buddha statue.

The interior of the church features lanterns where devotees can participate in merit-making by writing their names, surnames, and dates of birth. These lanterns are then hung as a way to ward off bad luck.

5. **Wat Chedi Luang**, another famous temple in Chiang Mai, has the Inthakin Pillar, or the city pillar, located in front of the temple.

As women were not allowed inside, only exterior images were captured.

The Royal Chapel

The Royal Chapel was constructed in 1928. At the entrance, a naga staircase with its tail intertwined forms an archway leading to the chapel.

The principal Buddha image in the royal chapel, known as "Phra Attharasa," is cast in bronze in the "pacifying the relatives" posture. According to historical records, it was cast in 1954 CE.

Royal Wihan

At the back, there is a viharn dedicated to Luang Pu Mun Bhuridatta, the former abbot of Wat Chedi Luang.

6. Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan, the temple housing the city pillar of Chiang Mai (approximately 1 kilometer from Wat Chedi Luang).

Phra Buddha Sihing, also known as Phra Singh, is a sacred Buddha statue revered as the palladium of Chiang Mai and the Lanna Kingdom.

7. Wat Muen Ngern Kong This temple is located approximately 500 meters from Wat Phra Singh. It is not necessary to explain what people pray for at this temple. (This temple is close to our accommodation.)

The interior houses the "Million Silver Relics," a name that embodies auspiciousness. Visiting this site to pray for blessings and make merit can bring wealth, happiness, longevity, and good fortune.

8. Temple of the Fire Extinguisher

This temple houses the revered Luang Pho Dam Phaen, a figure renowned for his legendary ability to extinguish the flames of misfortune and safeguard individuals from illness and suffering.

9. Suan Dok Temple

The large, bell-shaped stupa enshrines relics of the Buddha and was built in 1914.

Call the northern lord.

Wat Si Suphan: A Silver Temple for Nighttime Exploration

While exploring the vibrant Walking Street of Wualai, consider venturing into Wat Si Suphan, a unique temple open during the evening hours. This remarkable structure boasts an ubosot (ordination hall) entirely constructed from silver, adorned with intricate silver embellishments.

Every Saturday evening, during the waxing moon phase, the temple comes alive with a special ceremony. Devotees gather to perform a candlelit procession around the silver ubosot, followed by a flower offering to the monks. The evening concludes with a captivating performance of the "Chabapchai" drum dance.

Our final stop was Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, a must-visit temple in Chiang Mai. We arrived early on the second day, taking a red taxi from the city center for around 300-500 baht, depending on whether you want a roundtrip or a one-way ride. We opted for a one-way trip and shared a ride with others, paying an additional 80 baht per person.

In addition to the temples mentioned above, there is also Wat Chai Phra Kiat, which is believed to bring good fortune and enhance one's prestige and dignity. (We skipped this temple because we chose to visit Wat Suan Dok instead, as we were short on time and worried that the temple would close before we arrived.)

Another must-visit temple is Wat Muen Lan, located on the Tha Pae Gate Walking Street. Unfortunately, the temple was closed when we visited, so we could only admire it from the outside. Since it was Sunday evening, the walking street was bustling with shops, vendors, and parked vehicles. We decided to save a more thorough exploration for another time. We spent the rest of our day enjoying the cafes and restaurants in Chiang Mai.

In conclusion, thank you to everyone who has read this. I hope you have gained something from it. May God bless you. Goodbye. __/\__
