Shimmering Silence: A Morning at Wat Sri Suphan

#postandearn

Hidden in Chiang Mai’s Wua Lai area, Wat Sri Suphan—famously dubbed the “Silver Temple”—is a dazzling sanctuary where tradition meets artistry. Its entire ordination hall is intricately crafted from silver alloy, creating a surreal glow under morning light.

Things to Do:
Marvel at the ornate silverwork, offer gold leaves to the Buddha statue, and don’t miss the silver wishing tree. Visit the local artisan stalls nearby for handmade silverware.

Tips:
Only men can enter the main ubosot (ordination hall) due to Lanna customs, but the exterior is equally mesmerizing. Visit early to avoid heat and crowds. Wear respectful attire.

Address:
Wat Sri Suphan, Wua Lai Road, Tambon Hai Ya, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50100, Thailand
