Wat Srisuphan Temple in Chiang Mai
Wat Srisuphan in Chiang Mai
In 1502 the first pure silver ordination hall in world was build here at Wat Srisuphan in Chiang Mai. The Buddhist Temple in Laana style is a bit in south of the moat near Pratu Chiang Mai. Here you can come for a conversation with the Monks in English language. The “Chat with the Monks” is every Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday from 5:30 – 07:00 pm at the silver temple Wat Srisuphan. This is a good chance to ask the Buddhist Monks about Thai culture, life as a monk in north Thailand, meditation or other thinks where you are interested in. This Sisuphan temple is as well famous for the public meditations three times per week. Everybody is welcome to join. The great silver ordination hall has a dimension of 5 meters wide and 18 meters long.

The Buddha image inside the temple look very beautiful, the contrast of the silver to the gold let him appear and silhouetted against other temples in Chiang Mai or somewhere in Thailand.
