Wat Chomphu, Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand
The temple contains a collection of Buddhist symbols, including a gilded elephant beside the main chedi and several smaller stupas with multi-tiered umbrellas.
The temple dates back 600 years and underwent reconstruction in the 1780s after King Kawila reclaimed Chiang Mai from Burmese control in 1775.
Inside the viharn, the principal Buddha image in Chiang Saen style sits on a high dais, surrounded by dark teak columns stained with red and black lacquer.
Located at Wat Chomphu Soi 2 on Chang Moi Kao Road, the temple welcomes visitors daily from 6:00 AM to 6:00 PM without admission fees.
The temple features old murals in the porch area that depict conflict scenes, possibly representing historical events or local folklore narratives.
