entranceAnother example of why you should check out the little lanes. This little beauty is tucked away down a small side road off Sam Lan, the southern extension of Singarat.

Look out for the wonderful floral roof of a lean to building just outside the Temple gates.

inThis low but elongated Wat has a gorgeous scarlet interior, a popular colour scheme with many Chiang Mai Temples.

angelsIts long exterior walls are lined with painted angels.

Like many Chiang Mai Temples at the moment there is some reconstruction work going on with some of the buildings in the compound.

buddhasTo the rear of the Temple, against the back wall is a covered area with an impressive collection of Buddha statues.

artAlso behind the Temple is a medium sized , gold coloured Chedi. To the left of this, one of the Monks buildings has an exquisite Buddha painting on its apex wall.

To the right of the Temple is a very high bell tower which I expect is on the work list for refurb.

For many more photos please visit our photobucket album here.

A timely reminder of the advisability of phoning or emailing ahead if you’re after a room here in Chiang Mai. At time of writing, all our rooms are full. This will change today but only to the point of our single room becoming available once more.
So please, to all our friends who return regularly, please book your rooms ahead of your next visit as I don’t want to be turning you away.
