This temple, situated in the city center, was founded in the 14th century. However, most of the buildings have been restored and date from the 19th century. At the rear of the main temple, in the attractive Viharn Lai Kham, sits a copy of the Phra Sihing Buddha image. During Songkran
people flock to the temple to bathe the holy image in water. In the same building are some of Northern Thailand's most famous murals. To the right of the main entrance, one can see the magnificent scripture repository where some holy books written on bai lan paper are stored.
