Many people may not be familiar with this name. When mentioning Chiang Mai, everyone will think of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Wat Phra Singh, and Wat Chedi Luang as the top priorities. And will reach the walking street with its own unique identity, both the Wualai Walking Street and the Tha Pae Walking Street, which when we walk the walking street, we will focus on shopping and various shops as well as beautiful local performances. Without noticing what important places we have passed by, the place that will be mentioned is Wat Sri Suphan, which is considered an UNSEEN Chiang Mai hidden in the Wualai Walking Street.

The journey to Wat Si Suphawan is straightforward. Head straight to Wualai Road, where the temple is located in the middle section. There are clear signs indicating the way. Turn into the alley following the signs. The temple is not very large, but it has an interesting history and a beautiful silver-plated ordination hall, the first of its kind in the world.

Originally known as Wat Si Suphawan Aram, Wat Si Suphawan is a historic temple dating back to 2043 B.E. (over 500 years old). Located in the Wualai Walking Street area, the temple complex includes a stupa containing relics of the Buddha, an ordination hall, a Dharma hall, and a vihara.

Passing through the gate, you will encounter a golden-colored church enshrining a beautiful principal Buddha statue. Within the temple grounds, you can also visit the "Community Enterprise of the People's State Wisdom" project. Let's go and explore it together.

This area is also known for its long-standing tradition of silversmithing, a craft practiced by the entire village. They create a variety of silver items, including jewelry and household goods, which form the backbone of the local economy. In recognition of their faith and to preserve their cultural heritage, the villagers have come together to build a silver ordination hall (Phra Ubosot). This project, costing 25 million baht, features intricate silver decorations both inside and out. The silver sheets are meticulously hammered with beautiful and delicate patterns. It is important to note that women are prohibited from entering the ordination hall; however, they are welcome to admire it from outside.
