Wat Si Don Chai is perched on a picturesque hilltop overlooking 90/1 Sridonchai Rd, 50100, Thailand
Wat Si Don Chai was built about 130 years ago, and during this past month (May 2019) it has been completely repainted. It is a joy to explore and offers a wealth of photographic opportunities.There is a very large main hall, a number of interesting smaller buildings, Statues, accommodation blocks and a vast area for parking – when there is not a special event happening.Wat Si Don Chai often has a variety of ceremonies going on, some of which take up the vast open areas.There is a large stupa at the rear of the main hall, in an area which appears to be a small cemetery with a number of interesting tombs. The main hall is sometimes closed, as it was when I last visited.Wat Si Don Chai is opposite the Pantip Plaza in the night bazaar area of Changklan Road – so very easy to find. Do go, you won’t be disappointed.Highly recommended.
This is the temple nobody’s heard of. There’s no English signs at the temple giving the name. The two storied Viharn is spectacular with plenty of glittering mosaic and scenes of the Buddhist hell carved on the window shutters.Inside there’s the usual murals of the Vessantara jataka lining the walls. The ubosot is modern with cute little sema boundary stones. The ho trai is new and in the Lanna style with teak upper floor. There’s also some nice old wooden kuti monk’s quarters. The small chedi is in the Burmese style.
Nice temple next to Pantip Plaza. When I was there there was a little scaffolding at the back and there was some sort of lunch/party going on at the front with tables and chairs under a canopy so I could get a good view of the temple.
Went to Toey Dim sum but it was too early and it wasn’t open for business, We walked to Wat Si Don Chai for a visit.Wat Si Don Chai is another big temple in the area, it housed in a large block of land with number buildings surrounding the main temple, its structure is quite beautiful with ornament decorated on its roof. Inside the main temple is similar set up to other temples in Chiang Mai, except the statue of its venerable sitting on a chair, first of all we thought he was a real person and alive, after few minutes we found out it is the statue. Cheese!!! amazing how they created a statue like a live person at first seen.The Wat Si Don Chai is on maintenance while we were there,.Definitely once it finished, The temple will have more beautiful look and could be very busy by the coming Songkran Festival in Mid April.
This temple is located on the south side of the street where the Night Bazaar is located, in the area opposite Big C. The temple is quite large considering its location, but there were no people there. You can visit it quietly, but there is nothing particularly interesting to see, so it doesn’t make much of an impact.
