Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Wat Phra Singh, Singharat Road Phra Sing Subdistrict, Chiang Mai Thailand

We’ll start off with an easy and smooth hotel pick-up before proceeding to our first stop, the Wat Phra Singh, known for its classic northern Thai or Lanna design. It is undoubtedly the city’s finest temple, with lavish monastic buildings and immaculately trimmed grounds.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara, 103 Phra Pok Klao Road Phra Singh, Chiang Mai 50200 Thailand

We’ll then make our way to the beloved Wat Chedi Luang – a temple that has bested the damage done by a 16th-century earthquake (or Burmese cannon…?). Its towering, ruined Lanna-style chedi is much taller than Phra Singh’s, set in a powerfully atmospheric compound.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Wat Chiang Man, Ratchaphakhinai Road, Chiang Mai Thailand

Next, we head to Wat Chiang Man, where we’ll hear about Phaya Mengrai – none other than Chiang Mai’s founder. He established this temple, the city’s oldest, back in 1296.

Duration: 30 minutes

Stop At: Wat Suan Dok, On Suthep Road, west of the Old City, Chiang Mai 50200 Thailand
