This structure contains magnificent murals depicting scenes from one of the Jataka tales about the previous lives of the Buddha. The larger viharn was built around 2 centuries ago. The large Buddha image contained in it is around three centuries old. The current structure is more current, as the building was renovated in 1819. The small Lanna style viharn was likely built during the 16 th century. The base of the chedi contains a Buddha image on all four sides.
The white chedi with a golden spire is guarded by four Burmese style lions, called Singha in Thai. One of the oldest remaining structures is the chedi (pagoda) that was built more than 4 centuries ago in Burmese and Mon style. The temple complex consists of an ubosot, two viharns, a Dhamma hall, a chedi and a well supplying holy water.
The Wat Buppharam just outside the old walled city was built in 1497 during the reign of the Lanna King Muang Kaeo.
