ThailandDescription and is it worth a visit
The name of the temple Wat Buppharam can be translated as sunset temple or sunset temple. This is a very important temple in Chiang Mai. It was built in 1497 by King King Phra Muang Kaew on the site where the palace of his grandfather, King Thokarat, used to be located. The temple is built in a mixed style of the Lanna kingdom and the Burmese style.
The local culture center of Chiang Mai is organized on the territory of the temple. Here you can even visit the temple library (although there are few books there, they are rather left especially for tourists). The sign at the entrance says that the largest teak Buddha statue in Thailand is also kept here, you can see it inside the viharna. There is also a holy spring here, access to which is forbidden to women, but any man, regardless of faith, can come and wash in the spring, and the most desperate can drink water from it.
