Itinerary
1
Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara
Following a hotel pickup from your hotel in Chiang Mai City at 8:30 am by your English-speaking guide, you will depart for Wat Chedi Luang. This temple is the site of an enormous pagoda, originally 280 feet high, which was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1545. At one time, Wat Chedi Luang housed the revered Emerald Buddha image now enshrined in Bangkok's Wat Phra Kaew. One of Wat Chedi Luang's most striking architectural features is a magnificent Naga staircase that adorns the chapel's front porch.

Wat Suan Dok
Enjoy Wat Suan Dok. This temple was built in the 14th century. Several of the white chedis contain the ashes of Chaing Mai's former royal family. Explore Wat Chiang Man. The oldest temple was the residence of King Mengrai, who founded Chaing Mai, and is noteworthy for a chedi supported by rows of elephantine buttresses and a small ancient Buddha image, Phra Kaeo Khao.
