Wat Prasingha (Some refer it as"Wat
Phra Singh" or Wat Pra Sing") has an old name of
Wat Lichang. It changed to name to present after installation of Phra Sihing was
moved into the premises back in 1367. The temple is located in the heart of Chiang
Mai and making access to foreign and local very easily. The most famous thing of
this very old landmark temple is the golden Vihara Lai Kam. Many of the temples followed
old traditional antique way of Thai craftsmanship to construct and decorated with
golden leaf and floral patterns.
Some of the walls were still retaining the customary mural painting of the glorious
older Lanna dynastic period. There is a Chedee which reputed to be built by King Pha
Yu (1337-1355) to keep the remains of his father, King Kam Fu (1328-
1337B.E.). Many subsequent rulers of the Lanna Kingdom had added other structures
and Buddhist interest into the temple. The last more well known renovations were
carried out in the 1920 by Khru Ba Srivichai - the most respectable Lanna Monk
from Northern region.
Wat Phra Sing (Singh) does produced amulets for public to worship the merciness of
Lord Buddha in their own Northern Thai Folk manner. Here is a batch of newer amulets
produced back in 2496 B.E. (They are not too old but as you can observe, they are
top quality produce).
