About Wat Phra Singh In Chiang Mai
Nestled at the western end of Ratchadamnoen Road, Wat Phra Singh is one of the most venerated temples in Chiang Mai. With its astonishing gilded architecture, immaculately shaped grounds, Lanna-style rooftops which are layered like feathers, this temple is a sight to behold. Erected inside the old city walls, the temple houses one of the revered images of Buddha, called Phra Singh, which draws a huge flock of visitors all year round. The temple is one of the prominent attractions during the month of April when the city celebrates the Thai New Year Festival (Songkran).
History of Wat Phra Singh
Constructed in the year 1345, Wat Phra Singh Temple went into renovation in the 19th century. It is believed that the revered Buddha idol, housed in one of its chapels, came to Thailand from Sri Lanka in the year 1367. Hence, as you try to dig into the history of Wat Phra Singh, you might find that this image of Buddha has a lot of similarities with the images of Thailand in comparison to the other statues of Buddha in Sri Lanka. Interestingly, in addition to that, you can find two identical images of Buddha in the other corner of Thailand, one in Bangkok, while another one in Nakhon Si Thammarat. However, this fact doesn’t fade out its prominence, and the statue still manages to become a focal point during the Songkran Festival.
Attractions of Wat Phra Singh
The venerated temple of Wat Phra Singh, Chiang Mai has an amazingly crafted chedi (pagoda) which is often wrapped in orange clothes. Rising over the Lanna-style octagonal base, the pagoda was constructed in the year 1345. Besides that, as you wander around the ancient temple to unveil the mystery attached to it, its library decked in Wat Jet Yot style and snuggled in a stucco pavilion just leaves you mesmerized.
In addition to that, the Lai Kam Viharn is another highlight of the temple. Featuring lavish wood carvings, wing-shaped roofs, and numerous stuccos, the assembly hall is the best example of Lanna-style architecture. While the wall murals concocting numerous folklore tales are meant to beguile you to extend the tour for a longer duration.
With so much to explore, and a chance to savor its rich glimpses, the attraction of Wat Phra Singh, Chiang Mai, Thailand cannot be given a miss on your next tour.

Indranigogoi's 4 days trip to Chiang Mai
This was our first time travelling to Phuket and we had an awesome experience. The Travel agent was in touch on a regular basis to check if everything was fine and if we needed any assistance. The sightseeing and activities were well planned. Overall it was a good experience and would definitely like to visit other beautiful places through Tripoholic. I hope they continue to render good services and thrive to provide even better experiences to their clients. To criticize a little, activities such as scuba diving could be included in the package as well. My best memory was scuba diving in Racha island. This was not part of the package though. Also, the food. The street food stalls in Bangla road was delightful.Vidya Dhulai

Anand's 7 days trip to Chiang Mai
The trip was good, thanks to Mr. Rahul Khantwal he well supported. Things that I didn't like: 1) The city tour, in city tour only things that they covered was Big Buddha and Chalong temple nothing gets suggested more from their side, you have to explore from your own. 2) On the first day, they asked for extra money by saying the national park fee for the coral island in the quotation they mentioned 2 national park fees but while the trip they ask for 3rd island too, that I didn't like to because they didn't mention that in there original quotation. 3) At the starting of the trip, they start adding unnecessary issues, like Phuket to Karbi transfer will be via ferry but in my quotation, it is clearly mentioned it will be by road. 4) Last and important thing, keep everything in writing because at the end agents get changed and they do not care what they talked about initially.Darra Vinay

Excellent services by Tripoholic. Well planned budgeted trip. Gaurav ji n sree were also excellent in their work... Night out at Patong beach, Bangla street in Phuket. Location of Hotel in Phuket was very near to patong beach and Bangla street. Swimming pool was V gud in both the hotel at Pattaya and Phuket. Indian night clubs in Pattaya was the best. Also enjoyed shopping in Indira Market in Bangkok. Madamme Tusaad should not be missed. James Bond Island is worth watching. Overall well planned and executed by Tripoholic..Ravpreet Singh
