About Wat Phra Singh in Chiang Mai
Wat Phra Singh is one of the most important temples in Chiang Mai’s old town. Wat Phra Singh was founded in 1345 by the fifth king of the Mangrai dynasty which ruled over the ancient Kingdom of Lanna, the capital city of which was Chiang Mai. The first structure to be built at the temple was the large chedi which still stands today, although it has been enlarged since it was originally built. The temple was initially named Wat Li Chiang Phra, until 1367 when a legendary Buddha statue, the Phra Buddha Sihing was brought to the temple and the Viharn Lai Kham building was constructed to house the statue. The Phra Buddha Sihing statue is believed to be a copy of a statue of the Lord Buddha which was housed in the Mahabodhi Temple of Bodh Gaya in India, a temple constructed on the spot where the Lord Buddha attained enlightenment.
