About Wat Phra Singh Chiang Rai

A 14th-century royal temple of the Lanna kingdom that once housed the famous Phra Singh Buddha (now in Chiang Mai). Beautiful teak viharn and carved doors.

Local tip: Quietly lovely rather than spectacular — best enjoyed as part of a relaxed old-town stroll with Wat Phra Kaew and Wat Klang Wiang, not as a destination on its own.

Getting here without a car

Most places on this list sit outside the city and have no return Grab, so plan the ride before you go — see how to get around Chiang Rai for what each option costs. If you would rather not work out the logistics, a local operator runs a shared day tour that links the main sights with hotel pickup: how a full day in Chiang Rai usually runs.
