This temple is not visited so much but fascinating as its all silver & when we were there the silver workers were hammering various emblems etc to go to the temple or for souvenirs.

After visiting most Wat's in Chiang Mai and Northern Thailand over a 15 month period, it is nice to feel at home in such a place where peace is just in abundance and you feel so enlightened just by visiting and being blessed by the Monks.

They have the big hall and several other buildings to see inside the grounds. They even had a small market of food and souvenirs

It might still be under completion but Wat Sri Suphan is a unique temple, covered in silver that is prepared in the workshop next door. The temples (there's another more traditional one) are small but nicely decorated. there's also a beautiful big Ganesh silver statue and sometimes art exhibitions take place in that area. The silver workshop next door is... More

An architectural masterpiece and a very spiritual place. I liked the fact that we could sit quietly in contemplation. As tourists we were made to feel completely welcome by the community of monks.

It is another wat...though different in being silver rather use gold theme... Women are not allowed in the Sliver wat...so you can just enjoy the surrounding if you belong to this gender. Monks are at work ..one can hear the metal being banged,and see too if you are interested.... :) Nothing special ...except the silver theme as i mentioned before.... More

We were told about this unique temple by a local who was kind enough to give us directions. As we arrived you could hear the tapping as the young monks worked on the metal sheets and copper pots. A shame women are not permitted to enter the main silver temple however there was still plenty to see. I would say... More

This wat is just off the saturday night street market so it is easy to combine both attractions into one saturday evening (the wat is open until late in the evening and the silver temple is beautifully lit at night). There is also a metal shrine to Ganesh nicely lit at night and a snack bar during the day. The... More

Even though women can not enter the silver building, it is worth a visit. It is stunning to see the intricate detail in the aluminum that they have pounded out into the designs, and to watch them work. Also a unique silver Ganeshe sits out front looking cool in the hot sun. Unfortunately for us we were in a hurry... More
