Most of all I like to visit unusual temples, because traditional Thai type temples in Chiang Mai squared already boring. Well, if we are talking about the temple as a sightseeing, and not about going there for spiritual needs. So, there are a million temples in Thailand, so apparently now some temple builders are being banished and trying to come up with something like that. Take at least White temple or Temple of Hell and Paradise. In no case do I want to put the Silver Temple on a par with them, because it did not stand out so much, but nevertheless, it still differs, at least in color..
Silver Temple in Chiang Mai
The history of the Silver Temple (Wat Si Supan) is unknown to me, so I'll just limit myself to a photo report. The only thing that confused women was for some reason not allowed to go there. You can walk around the territory, I saw it myself, but you can't go inside the temple itself. What kind of discrimination is this?
Silver signs immediately after the entrance
The area around is small, but very well-groomed
Women are not allowed!

On the territory of the temple
In fact, the Silver Temple itself is only a small building to the right of the entrance, moreover, freshly built, and there is also the main building (typical), the area around, a small museum.
Nearby is an ordinary Thai temple
Inside this building is a mini-museum
King's portrait and various objects
Where is
The temple is located not far from the square, from its southern side. If you follow the road (Wua Lai) that goes from the center of the bottom line of the square, then you will need to get to the cow statue. And turn right opposite her.
The cow stands in front of the jay, where the Silver Temple is located

In general, if we talk about Chiang Mai, then I really liked it. tunnel temple, he's kind of sincere ... And you don't need to look at the Silver Temple on purpose 🙂
For those who are going to Chiang Mai, I recommend the service for booking hotels RoomGuru and our overview of guesthouses in the historical center of the city (squared).
