Creating the Silver Lanna King 🫅 Silver Temple in Chiang Mai

✔️The Silver Temple is also called Wat Suphan. It is also the only all-metal temple in the world. The entire temple is made of either silver or aluminum, which is exquisite. 🥰 🟢The Silver Temple is a little smaller than the White Temple and the Blue Temple, but it is still quite spectacular as a whole. Every sculpture is carefully carved by hand. It is said that when it was built, the silversmiths insisted on using the most traditional carving techniques, which resulted in such a magnificent Silver Temple. 🟨Address: Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 🟧Ticket: 50 baht 🟪Transportation: In the south of the ancient city, it can be reached by about 30 double-deckers 🟩Opening hours: Saturday 6:00-23:00, other times 9:00-18:00 ⚫️Tips: 1⃣️Don't wear sleeveless and shorter-than-knee clothes to enter 2⃣️Photographing: Both the front and the side are good, and bring a small Thai umbrella, which can both shape and protect from the sun. 3⃣️Only men are allowed to enter the Silver Temple. Girls are not allowed to enter. There will be an introduction at the door. According to Lanna beliefs, women are not allowed to enter. Every religion has its own beliefs. Please respect them [put your hands together] 🔵The Silver Temple is like a guardian, watching over the ancient traditions. Women cannot step into this land. This rule may be part of the ancient tradition, or it may be a mysterious ritual. And this hint of confinement reminds people of the invisible constraints in society. Is it also hindering our progress? 🔘Inside the temple After entering, you will be surrounded by silver light. The delicate silver ornaments decorate the temple and shine. This is not only a temple, but also more like a temple of art. ◽️Appreciating the magnificence of silver products, it seems like walking in a dream. 👁️‍🗨️Make silver jewelry by yourself This must be experienced! Opposite the temple, there is a handicraft workshop where you have the opportunity to make silver jewelry by yourself. Learn the process of making silver jewelry and experience the ancient craftsmanship. This may be a way to connect the past and the present, and also a way to feel the culture! The old water will teach you how to carve, and after the carving is completed, he will help you make a complete keychain, which you can take home as a souvenir [color] #Chiang Mai Must-visit Attractions #Thailand Travel Guide #Chiang Mai Silver Temple #Chiang Mai Historical Sites #Travel with the Public #The Meaning of Travel #Sawadee Ka #Experts Take You to Chiang Mai
