Located on Sam Lan
Road, this beautiful temple was built in 1345
and is one of the focal points of Songkran
festivities, also known as the Water Festival, on the 13th to 15th April each year
when people bathe the revered Phra Buddha Sihing
image and is the city's most renowned and
visited temple. The temple compound includes the lovely
Lai Kham chapel with its exquisite woodcarvings
and northern-style murals and also a magnificent
scriptural repository with striking bas relief.
This temple is also a perfect example of the
Lanna architecture which contains wall paintings showing Lanna
customs and dress.
