I stopped by here on my way to the new town after visiting Somphet Market. It's a temple in a residential area that is obviously worshipped by locals. I only stopped by because I saw the temple on a map, but there were several chedis and other things, so it was better than I expected.

Every temple is different and this wat has some interesting features. On the right as you enter there is what appears to be an old library building built on two floors with spiral staircase and Chinese text with gable decorated with tigers. At the back is an old gate entrance nearly falling down with a tiered chedi-like structure on top. The main hall is quite dark and hot due to the small windows. What I presumed was the ubosot building next to the old gate was impressive and without any of the usual guardians but as usual locked.

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.

This beautiful wat in CM is very peaceful as it doesn't get that ,any visitors compared to other more touristy wat. That's what I like about this Wat. Spent some time inside and prayed without many people taking photos.

Great view to wake up to during our stay in Chiang Mai. We saw it from afar but the temple was stunning.

Found this Wat when we were wandering near our guesthouse. I'm sure it doesn't get many visitors but if you're in the area, it's worth a look.

This temple facility is usually very quiet and I've never seen it with any visitors. The grounds are clean and an occasional temple dog walks by. It's a bit off the main tourist area.
