Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Temple
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep stands on a hillside overlooking Chiang Mai. Wear appropriate clothing in its courtyards and around the golden stupa. Check access; the temple is not the entire forest park.
Temple
Wat Chedi Luang
Wat Chedi Luang preserves a large, partially ruined chedi in the old town. The restored parts and areas of worship are discovered since the passages allowed.
Temple
Wat Phra Singh
Wat Phra Singh gathers religious buildings and decors representative of Lanna traditions. Observe paintings and sculptures in the spaces actually open.
Temple
Wat Chiang Man
Wat Chiang Man presents a set of shrines and a chedi worn by elephant figures. The temple remains a place of worship: respect ceremonies and photography instructions.
