Wat Buppharam — Attraction in Chiang Mai Province

Wat Bupparam. 06/11/18.

Foreigners pay 20 baht for Entrance fee. If you have a problem with this, don't Visit. (Thais Donate each time they Visit to Make Merit).

The Main Temple is a Beautifully Ornate Building. It's raised off the ground, with a climb of about 40 steps in 3 sections. So if you have problems with steps, this unfortunately is not for you as there is no other way into the Main Temple.

The Naga that line the steps all the way up to the Temple are Magnificent. The array of different Buddha Statues inside is numerous. The Replica Emerald Buddha are Visually Stunning. But don't forget to look up. The Ceiling has some Amazing art work.
