Wat Phra Singh

Home to the Phra Singh Buddha

What we say:

Begun under the supervision of King Pha Vu in 1345, this large wat houses the revered yet controversial Phra Singh Buddha. Experts do not agree on whether this is the 'true' image and seemingly identical statues can be found elsewhere in Thailand. Nevertheless, this impressive effigy forms the epicentre of the Songkran festival in mid-April. Wat Phra Singh's large bot is particularly serene when not full of tour groups.

How to get there: Located at the end of Phra Singh Road in the western centre of the old city, this is one place you should keep an eye out for unscrupulous gem con artists.
