The big Buddha image of the Morntheran Temple
The best way to explore the beautiful Buddhist temple “Wat Morntheran” is by taxi, motorbike or by foot. The temple is direct on the north side of the old city ditch of Chiang Mai in north Thailand. You will recognize the Wat Morntheran because of the huge Buddha statue in front of the temple here in Thailand. It is a small but nice temple with many decorations and many things to explore. Not many tourists come here, so you will find some lonely moments to rest and meditate here at Mornteran in Chiangmai. We like this place because of the peaceful atmosphere and the beautiful architecture. Please don’t forget to show off your shoes and wear adequate cloth if you go into the Wat, in the main it’s a holy place and not a tourist attraction!

A big Buddha in Chiangmai
The holy stupa of Wat Phra Singh in Chiangmai, north Thailand is build in Lanna style. The small chapel next to the stupa implies some great wall paintings. Some paintings here at Wat Phra Singh are from 1870. The scene on the south wall shows the famous Thai saga of the golden swan. Many believer, tourists and backpacker come to see and render homage to the big Buddha in the main hall of the Phrasing Temple. For me the Wat Phra Singh is one of the most superb temples in old Chiangmai in north Thailand. A visit here is a worthwhile excursion for all people who are interested in religious buildings. Please show off your shoes and don’t wear “beach clothes” if you come here, for many people it’s a holy place and not a tourist attraction!
