Step into a **shimmering dream** at **Wat Sri Suphan**, the **Silver Temple** of Chiang Mai—where every surface gleams with intricate metalwork, mythical creatures, and Lanna craftsmanship that’ll leave you spellbound!
### **🌟 *MUST-SEE HIGHLIGHTS*:**
- **The Silver Ubosot:** A **fully hand-engraved** ordination hall covered in **aluminum, nickel, and zinc**—featuring celestial beings, elephants, and *naga* serpents. At sunset, it glows like liquid mercury! ✨
- **Underground Meditation Tunnel:** A surreal **silver-lined passage** with Buddha images—cool, quiet, and spiritually charged. 🕉️
- **Saturday Night Market:** Visit on weekends for **local crafts, live music, and street food** right outside the temple. 🎶🍢
### **💡 *TRAVEL TIPS*:**
- **Women Note:** The **main ubosot is restricted to men** (Buddhist rule), but you can admire the exterior and explore the grounds freely.
- **Night Illumination:** The temple **sparkles under lights**—visit after 6 PM for magic. 🌙
- **Silversmith Workshops:** Nearby studios offer **DIY silverware classes** (make your own ring!). 💍
### **📸 *INSTA-WORTHY SPOTS*:**
- **Close-ups of the engraved panels** (mythical *Kinnari* half-bird beings!).
- **Reflections in the silver lotus pond**.
