    A less well known temple certainly worth a visit. I have been visiting a few of the lesser well-known temples to see if they're worth a visit - instead of the more popular temples, many of which are now charging foreigners to enter. Wat Chomphu is situated in a soi off Chiang Moi Road, close to the moat road and easy to check on the map. As you enter Wat Chomphu there is an old building on two floors with a spiral staircase, a gable decorated with tigers and a bell tower. Another pedestrian entrance to Wat Chomphu is very ancient and nearly falling down, with an interesting structure atop. The main hall is dark inside but with beautiful, large pillars, interesting pictures and sculptures. Outside is a fine golden stupa with lovely golden elephants at each corner. The courtyard also contains some fitness machines which were being well used whilst I was there. Wat Chomphu is a fine alternative to those nearby temples that charge entrance. Recommended.

    A magnificent golden Stupa greets you at the entrance to this Temple. The long main hall is beautiful with it's timber columns and Buddha statues.

    Just discover the back door of the temple on my usual morning walk. The back door of the Wat resemblance Angor Wat. Did not dig into the history of the Wat. So not much detail can be provided here. The back door entrance can not be seen from front entrance.

    Not spectacular because it's in Chiang Mai, but a very nice lesser visited temple.

    Very beautiful Wat. Be sure to get blessing from monk. It was worth the visit, close to the Old City, but kind of hidden.

    Peaceful local temple without tourists at all, which is better for us to visit and make merit indeed.
