Wat Sri Suphan - Silver Temple

Wat Sri Suphan (Silver Temple) is one of Chiang Mai’s most unique temples, famous for its silver-colored ubosot covered in detailed metalwork and engravings. The craftsmanship is incredible—every wall is packed with symbolic designs, and it looks especially beautiful in the evening lights. Important for visitors: the main silver ubosot is for men only (women can view it from outside), but the surrounding grounds and workshops are still worth visiting for everyone. Great tempel and a standout example of modern Lanna metal art.

Some truly mesmerising architecture and a massive silver statue of Ganesh! There are many benches to relax on, as well as palm trees. There was also a small market and a stall with monks making bookmarks and keychains from metal. Note that women are not allowed to view the temple from the inside. While I didn’t like this at all, I chose not to let it put a dampener on my experience or the day itself. Entrance is 50 baht, and you receive a small bottle of water.

Entrance fee 50B for foreigners. Ticket Free for locals. Can see from outside. Only silver temple is the main attraction, inside is beautiful but only men can enter, no women allowed. Nice. Worth visit. Small road to come here. Can park bike outside temple near locals shop and a night market.
