This temple, built between 1900 and 1912 during the reign of Rama V, is located just outside the city and is built in the Burmese style. The teak ceilings are beautifully carved and painted in red and gold. The temple has a somewhat deserted feel; few people come here to pray. It is constructed of wood and differs stylistically from the other temples in the city. Furthermore, it is not the most interesting temple in Phrae. To its left is a brick stupa. Therefore, in my opinion, a visit to this temple is not essential when staying in Phrae.

This temple is somewhat remote, so you will need at least a bicycle to get there.

Wat Chom Sawan is a temple, and when visiting a temple in Thailand there are some rules to follow: appropriate clothing (knees and shoulders should be covered), take off your shoes when entering the building, be quiet, do not hug or kiss, do not point your feet at the Buddha statue, do not smoke.
