Wat Phra Singh is Chiang Mai's most revered royal Buddhist temple, founded in the 14th century within the historic walled Old City. Its jewel is Viharn Lai Kham, home to the sacred Phra Singh (Lion Buddha) statue, adorned with intricate gold-stenciled lacquer and 19th-century murals depicting local Lanna life and Buddhist tales. A gleaming gilded stupa and multi-tiered carved teak roofs exemplify quintessential northern Thai architecture.
