Wat Sri Suphan Unseen! See the world's first silver ordination hall.

#Chiang Mai Attractions: Wat Sri Suphan, Wualai Road
Unseen Chiang Mai: See the world's first silver chapel.
Constructed from silver and tin, the temple is located in the Wualai community, a renowned community of craftsmen, silverware, and lacquerware.
Chiang Mai Province aims to preserve the arts and craftsmanship of the local community, which led to the concept of building the world's first silver chapel.✨

The silver chapel is constructed in the Lanna architectural style, crafted from silver and tin, using the expertise of local craftsmen renowned for their silverware. It's incredibly beautiful, and each piece has intricate and delicate designs.
Inside, you'll find the principal Buddha image, Phra Chao Chet Tue.

Women are not allowed inside the silver chapel, as per Lanna beliefs, sacred relics and valuables are buried beneath the chapel's base, which could weaken spells and amulets over 500 years old. Therefore, women can only admire its beauty.
The chapel's exterior is in front of the temple. There are also a pair of silver statues of Lord Ganesha and Thao Vessuwan standing guardian deities in front of the silver Buddha statue for tourists to pay their respects.
