Chom Sawan Temple

The city of Phrae

Wat Chom Sawan showcases stunning Burmese-style architecture, making it a remarkable sight to behold. Inside the temple, visitors can find a variety of intriguing antique artifacts. Among these are ancient scriptures crafted from ivory, intricate stone flowers, flintlock rifles, and the revered Luang Por San statue. In addition to the beautiful wood carvings and exquisite mirror decorations of the temple itself, Wat Chom Sawan holds the ancient ivory scriptures, which are made by grinding ivory into a fine powder and then spreading it into sheets. This makes it a significant artistic heritage of the Phrae community and a revered treasure of the region.

วัดจอมสวรรค์ ศูนย์รวมจิตใจและชุมชนชาวไทใหญ่ สร้างสมัยรัชกาลที่ 5 ศิลปะพม่าแบบมัณฑเลย์ สร้างด้วยไม้สักทองทั้งหลัง หลังคาหลากหลายรูปทรง ผสมกลมกลืนต่อเนื่องกัน โดดเด่นด้วยซุ้มบันไดหลังคาซ้อนชั้นทั้งสองข้าง ภายในอาคารตกแต่งด้วยไม้แกะสลักประดับกระจกสีสวยงาม Jomsawan Temple It is the morale and community centre of Tai Yai people. This Mandalay-style building was built entirely with teak during King Rama V’s reign. The roofs are of multiple styles that blended seamlessly together. The outstanding feature is the staircase with stacked roofs on both sides. The interior is decorated in carved wood with colourful glasses. มีกิจกรรมถวายสวยดอกไม้ อุทิศส่วนบุญกุศลแก่ผู้ล่วงลับโดยกรวดนำ้สู่พระแม่ธรณีกลางวิหารแบบธรรมเนียมไทใหญ่เดิม Join the flower offering ceremony and transfer merit to the dead by pouring water back to the river goddess following the Tai Yai tradition.
