Phra Singh Noi, Wat Phra Singh, Chiang Rai Province

Phra Phuttha Sihing, or Phra Singh Noi, is a Buddha statue in the Mara Vijaya style, Lanna style, 37 centimeters wide (at the lap), 66 centimeters high (with base), made of gilded bronze. It is currently located in a pavilion inside the Glass Chapel. This Phra Singh Noi was brought from Chiang Mai in 1843 by Khru Ba Panya to lead the procession of people recruited for the restoration of Chiang Rai. The chronicles of Chiang Rai from the restoration period report that…

"This is a story that goes beyond the founding of Chiang Rai, which Uncle Nan Khat learned by heart from the elders in the past. The ruler of Chiang Mai ordered the ruler to lead the people in establishing Wat Phra Singh first."

This Phra Singh temple also houses a replica of the Buddha's footprint on a stone slab, believed to have been erected during the reign of King Mangrai the Great. The door panels, designed by Ajarn Thawan Duchanee, a National Fine Arts Artist (painting), depict the elements of earth, water, wind, and fire. They were crafted by Sla Amnuay Buangam.

Among the most interesting sights in the temple is a replica of Phra Singh, a Buddha statue in the Mara Vijaya posture. A 21st-century work of Lanna art, it measures 37 centimeters across the shoulders and 66 centimeters in height, is cast in bronze, and gilded. Chao Maha Prohm, ruler of Chiang Rai and younger brother of Phraya Kue Na, ruler of Chiang Mai, invited the real Phra Buddha Sihing from Chiang Mai to serve as the model for the replica and to place it in the Phra Singh Hall.
