Wat Buppharam in Chiang Mai may not be the flashiest Wat in town. It's got a bit of a washed over patina to it. Yet wander around and hints at its high style start to emerge.
The complex, looking lived in. Fair enough, it's been around since 1497.
Figure details, Buddha with a delicate wrap in a rich red alcove on the main chedi and an elephant-human mashup. A Hindu Ganesh snuck in?
Getting fancy, an altar area in one of the temples.
The jade Buddha, a rare sighting in any of the Chiang Mai Wats. Old Thai texts.
Holy bookcases.
