Built in 1345, Wat Phra Singh is located on Sam Lan Road and houses the north's most revered Buddha statue, Phra Phuttha Sihing, enshrined in the Vihan Lai Kham chapel that features exquisite woodcarvings.

Every year on April 13, Songkran Day, the image is paraded through the streets of Chiang Mai for local people to sprinkle scented water on. This area was formerly Wat Li Chiang Market until 1345, when King Pa Yu, the fifth king of the Meng Rai Dynasty commanded the construction of this temple and a 7m high chedi to contain his father's ashes.
