Wat Phra Sing, Buddhist temple in Chiang Rai, Thailand

The temple grounds contain multiple buildings with traditional Lanna architectural elements, featuring intricate wooden carvings and detailed golden decorations throughout the structures.

The temple construction began in the 14th century during the Mangrai dynasty, with the main chedi initially built to preserve royal ashes.

The temple houses the revered Phra Singh Buddha statue, which plays a central role in religious ceremonies and annual festivals of Northern Thailand.

Visitors must wear clothing that covers shoulders and knees when entering the temple grounds, and remove shoes before stepping into worship halls.

The temple library, constructed from teak and stucco, stands elevated on stilts and contains ancient Buddhist manuscripts and traditional artwork.
