The Silver Temple Wat Sri Suphan of Chiang Mai in Thailand Asia

The so-called 'Silver District' of Chiang Mai has a good reason for its name - if you are looking for jewellery and souvenirs made of the precious metal, this is the place to be.

Wat Sri Suphan is located on Wua Lai Road in Chiang Mai. This is the road that turns into a shopping street every Saturday night. It is actually an unassuming and typical Lanna style temple, but the ubosot is completely covered in silver.
