What people are saying:
Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Rai is an ancient and very small temple. There is only one Buddhist shop and one golden pagoda. Although it is small, the incense is very strong. It is right in the downtown area and many believers come every day. Worship, if you pass by, you might as well take a tour.

In the center of Chiang Rai, it used to be a royal temple with the same name as Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Mai. It was built in the style of the Lanna Dynasty. Simpa is a kind of Buddha statue from Sri Lanka. This Buddha statue is said to have supernatural power. In the Chiang Mai National Museum.
Walking in the small city of Chiang Rai, I walked to Wat Phra Singh. This temple is also in my plan, because I have seen Wat Phra Singh in Bangkok and want to see Wat Phra Singh. What it looks like, after looking at it, it is indeed not as spectacular as Bangkok, but there is one thing that Bangkok does not have, and that is the tranquility that we like. The city of Chiang Rai is really interesting. Even the signs on the road are golden.
Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Rai is very different from Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Mai. First of all, it is much smaller in terms of the scale of the temple. But the statues of Sakyamuni enshrined here are very exquisite and solemn. The three statues of Sakyamuni in the temple have a history of more than 300 years. They are magnificent, magnificent and sacred. You must visit the temple.
2019.5.9 Wat Phra Singh took a tuk-tuk from the Great Pagoda Temple through the ancient city of Chiang Mai, and soon arrived at Wat Phra Singh. Built in the 14th century, this temple is a perfect example of Lanna architecture. The bi-paintings in the hall are filled with the breath of life based on local ancient costumes and customs. The pictures are very vivid and wonderful. This is a treasure house of art. Stop here and leave.
