Full description

Join a short walking tour around Chiang Mai to visit some of the city’s most famous temples in just two hours. You'll see Wat Chedi Luang with its large stupa, the humble Wat Phan Lao and stunning Wat Phra Singh.

 

The first stop on your walking tour will be Wat Chedi Luang. Built between the 14th and 15th centuries, this impressive temple has the largest stupa in Chiang Mai. Walking around the sprawling compound you have the chance to see striking Lanna-style design up close.

 

Compared to Wat Chedi Luang, Wat Phan Tao will seem quite humble in size. However, don’t let its size fool you, this small temple features intricately carved teak wood facades. It was once a throne hall for King Mahotara Prateth before becoming a dedicated house of prayer.

 

Lavish Wat Phra Singh is the final stop on your tour. This stunning building built in the 14th century is one of Chiang Mai’s finest temples. With amazing grounds, mosaic-inlaid sanctuary, large Lion Buddha statue and gilded pagodas, there’s a photo opportunity waiting around every corner.

Guide Koi knows Chiang Mai Old City well, related some local history and guided us to a few temples, including Wat Chedi Luang. Her explanations were clear, and her English is very good. She even took photos of us receiving blessings from monks and forwarded them by WhatsApp after the tour. I enjoyed this two-hour tour. Bring TB50 for one temple’s entry fee and a bit more for optional donations at temples. The links to Google Maps for the Meeting Point were conflicting in the various emails I received. I emailed about it and received prompt assistance. I hope they fix the links in the emails from GetYourGuide and TripGuru.

This was a very interesting tour which took us to some beautiful temples in Chiang Mai. Our tour guide was very friendly and bubbly and was full of information and very willing to answer questions. If you’ve got a spare 2 hours, this is definitely a worthwhile tour.
