Wat Chedi Luang: The largest ancient chedi in Thailand.

It is regarded as one of the largest ancient chedis in Thailand, making it a significant landmark in the country. The temple is frequently visited by students of humanities, archaeology, art, and curious individuals from all over the world, including Europe, Asia, America, and Thailand.
Surrounding the temple are areas and places that offer surprising and intriguing sights. Wat Chedi Luang is filled with many fascinating elements that captivate visitors, making them feel the excitement of discovery. The sense of awe and wonder is constant as you walk through, explore, and take in the sights of this remarkable historical site.
Wat Phra Singh - Another Symbol of Chiang Mai
Wat Phra Singh is one of the most important temples located within the old city of Chiang Mai, inside the inner moat area. This temple is renowned for its stunning chedi (stupa), which stands out with its traditional Lanna architecture. It also features the Ho Trai (library) which serves as a repository of Buddhist scriptures, beautifully adorned with intricate art influenced by Lanna culture. The artistry of the temple has been enhanced over time by skilled artisans, making it a significant cultural and spiritual site.
Though it is often recognized as the guardian temple for those born in the year of the dragon (according to the Thai zodiac), people born in other years can equally benefit from visiting and experiencing its peaceful, sacred atmosphere. Wat Phra Singh was included in this program because of its charm, historical interest, and the various mysteries of dharma that it holds. Visitors are encouraged to explore these fascinating elements in person.
Pan Tao Temple
Pantao Temple is one of the temples with a long history, surrounded by fascinating religious structures. The temple features religious murals and important buildings, both old and new, each beautifully crafted with intricate details. These buildings, from the ancient ones to the newly constructed, are rich in historical and artistic value, making them a site well worth visiting and studying.
