Wat Phra Singh Woramahawihan is a majestic Buddhist temple nestled in the historical walled city of Chiang Mai, Thailand. Home to the famous and revered Phra Buddha Sihing statue, the temple complex is a magnificent example of classical Lanna architecture. The picturesque landscape that surrounds Wat Phra Singh consists of a chedi, ubosot, wihans, murals, and a stupa. Inside Wihan Lai Kham, one can marvel at the detailed depictions of Songthong and Suwanna Hongse upon the walls. Every year, during the annual Songkran festival, the Phra Buddha Sihing statue is paraded through the streets of Chiang Mai as citizens pour water over its golden form to show their reverence.
