What secrets lie behind the ornate facade of Wat Santi Tham? Right here in Chiang Mai, Wat Santi Tham stands as a testament to the enduring power of faith. While the temple’s striking blue facade, adorned with gilded chofas and menacing nagas, is a sight to behold, Wat Santi Tham holds a hidden treasure: a museum filled with hundreds of Buddha relics. Step inside, and you’ll find yourself surrounded by a hauntingly beautiful collection of bone fragments, teeth, and hair, each carefully displayed alongside photographs of the monks to whom they belonged. A magnificent chedi, inspired by the early Lanna era, rises behind the viharn. This architectural marvel, with its five tiered square base and intricate niches, is a sight to behold. As you gaze upon its grandeur, remember that this chedi, upon completion, will house countless images, transforming it into an even more awe-inspiring monument to devotion. Wat Santi Tham is more than just a temple.
