Wat Si Chum (Lampang)
วัดศรีชุม
One of the largest Burmese-style temples in Thailand. Its teak main hall, destroyed by fire and rebuilt to the original design, is richly carved.
Built around 1900 and funded by a Burmese timber merchant, this is one of the largest Burmese-style temples in Thailand and is registered as a historic monument by the Thai Fine Arts Department. The original teak main hall was destroyed by fire in 1992 and was later rebuilt to the original design by Burmese craftsmen. Its roof has tiered eaves, and the eaves and gables are covered in wood carvings and gold leaf. A Burmese-style white stupa stands in front of the hall. Located on the south bank of the Wang River in the south of the city, it is about a 15-minute walk from Kad Kong Ta. Admission is free.
