This is Wat Srisuphan
It has nice red and gold ceiling works inside
And a very intense adult shaolin taking photos of the interiors
BUT we have come here not for this, but for the Ordination Hall.
IT’S SILVERRRRR
Built over 500 years ago, this 5-meter wide and 17.5-meter long structure in pure Lanna architecture will be the first ever silver ordination hall in the whole wide world.
It is still a work in progress. The whole building will be decorated in
pure silver, compound silver, and aluminum.
Check out the floor carvings. This will be covered in silver, too.
Aluminum coin pots
Intricate details
Unfinished silver business
Each piece is handmade by experienced silverware crafters
Patience
Dedication
Too bad females are not allowed in the hall.
So I just wait outside and admire this pretty silver sign.
