Despite the tranquil silence that descended on the temple with the setting sun, the spiritual significance and historical resonance of this place were palpable. Nightfall at the temple was a magical experience. Bathed in soft moonlight, the golden chedi glittered, an ethereal beacon standing proud against the starry backdrop. The quiet rustling of leaves, the distant chime of bells, and the whispered prayers of late-night worshippers added to the enchanting atmosphere.

Temples aren’t my thing to be honest but since I was in Chiang Mai, temple was a must! Went here because this was one of the famous temples in Chiang Mai. You need to pay around 20 bath and for girls, don’t wear shorts/short skirts and tank tops. Because you may need to “rent” a scarf and pay extra bit of money. There were Monk wax statues inside the temples. They looked so real. At first, i thought they were real Monks. That made this temple my favorite one.
