Another famous temple in Chiang Mai is the Wat Bupparam, which is located on Thapae Road and is open from 7 am until 6 pm daily. It is undoubtedly one of the most frequented sites in Chiang Mai, after Doi Suthep of course, due to its location. The Wat Bupparam is located quite close to the old entrance to the city. The entrance, known as the Thapae Gate, is often touted as a major tourist attraction by many a Chiang Mai hotel, prompting many locals to make the visit. Since Wat Buppparam is located a mere half a kilometre from the Gate, tourists often opt to visit this temple, which was built in 1497.
