Chiang Mai Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Old City Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
It's not the Europe of the Renaissance that has strayed into the Versailles Garden in Chiang Mai
It's my second visit to Chiang Mai, and this quiet little city is full of hidden gems.
In an inconspicuous corner of the northwest of the old city of Chiang Mai, there is a white European-style building with golden decorations, distressed murals, and carvings, all exuding a Renaissance style.
🏛 There is a separate building that you must visit, where you need to remove your shoes. The carvings and the colored window grilles inside are really exquisite, as if they are the palaces of the Versailles Garden.

📍Versailles de flore
☕️ You can enjoy coffee and afternoon tea, 🏊🏻 and there is also a swimming pool for a swim.
Stroll through Chiang Mai slowly, and step into Wat Chedi Luang
🌟 Highlights:
Wat Chedi Luang is probably the largest temple in the old city of Chiang Mai, featuring typical Lanna-style architecture. The main hall is grand and resplendent with gold, and once inside, you can sit on the floor. Despite the crowd, it doesn't feel noisy at all. The most famous part of the temple is the ancient and majestic great stupa, surrounded by many Buddha halls. These buildings with ethnic characteristics, nestled among the tropical plants of Southeast Asia, form a beautiful picture. Walking slowly around the great stupa, a sense of antiquity hits you, accompanied by the clear sound of wind chimes, adding to the tranquility and simplicity.
✨ Temple Highlights:
✅ As you enter the temple, there is a small hall on the side with a sign stating that women are not allowed inside. The reason for this is that the hall enshrines the city pillar of Chiang Mai - the Inthakin City Pillar. According to Chiang Mai legend, the Inthakin City Pillar was built by the god Indra for the stability of Chiang Mai, and the pillar serves as a reminder to the people to adhere to the Five Precepts of Buddhism. The people of Chiang Mai believe that the city pillar represents the prosperity and happiness of the city, and it is sacred and inviolable. Therefore, to this day, women, especially those in their menstrual period, are considered impure and are not allowed to approach. The hall is not large, but all four walls are adorned with exquisite murals. Apart from this, there is no such distinction in other areas of the temple.
✅ The Buddha statue at the entrance of the main hall allows visitors to buy gold leaf to stick on it, or to find and stick on their own zodiac sign.
✅ The tall and majestic stupa offers a massive visual impact. This great stupa is the oldest structure in the temple. After the 1545 Chiang Mai earthquake, the top of the stupa collapsed overnight, so what you see now is a flat top. Walking around and admiring it, each angle offers its own magnificent view.
The stupa has stairs on only one side, and on the south side of the stupa, there are six elephant sculptures, five of which were rebuilt later, with only the one without a nose and ears being the original.
🎫 Ticket Information:
Tickets are 40 Thai Baht, open from 06:00-18:00.
🚉 Transportation Tips:
The temple is located at the southern end of PhraPokklao Road in the old city of Chiang Mai. Generally, those staying in the old city or nearby can walk there.

The Most Important Temple In Chiang Mai🇹🇭
📌Wat Phra That Doi Suthep📌
“Locals would say, You haven't really gone to Chiang Mai unless you've been to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep.” - My Local Friend
Well.. Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is the most important temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand. Built in the early 19th century, the beauty of Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is known for the statue of the seven-headed snake that lines the steps to the temple where the pagoda is (if you take the elevator, you will miss the stairs of this snake statue, unless you go by the elevator and return via the stairs). You need to pay 50 baht for the elevator, 50baht is for roundtrip elevator.
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is located in Tambon Suthep, Amphoe Mueang, Chiang Mai Province. Doi Suthep Hill is 11 kilometers from downtown Chiang Mai. And because it is located on a mountain, the road to Doi Suthep is more or less the same as Bedugul Bali, with twists and sharp climbs.
Don't forget to wear decent clothes when you come here!

Amazing Wat Phra That Doi Suthep
Welcome to "Wat Phra That Doi Suthep" Chiang Mai Buddhist Temple! It's on top of a high mountain and the structures are plated in gold.
When you are in Chiang Mai, you must go to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Temple for sunset. From the city, it takes about 40 minutes to the mountain to the temple. You can take the red public taxi that drives all over Chiang Mai to get to the temple cheaply.
The temple costs 30 Baht per person and is very beautiful. The view in particular is a dream. In addition, there are many small stalls with food, towels, bags and souvenirs. Definitely worth a visit! Such an amazing attraction to enjoy.

Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai, Thailand
Wat Chedi Luang, like Wat Phra Singh, is one of the most popular temples in Chiang Mai. This temple is also known as the 'Great Pagoda Temple' because of the tall and majestic pagoda inside, although it is now in ruins. Wat Chedi Luang is a place with many stories. Not only does it have a large pagoda and the 'City Pillar' of Chiang Mai, but it also once housed the precious Jade Buddha, which is now worshipped in Wat Phra Kaew in Bangkok.
Like Wat Phra Singh, the origin of this temple is also a burial place built by the Lanna King Saen Muang Ma for his father. The king wanted to make the pagoda bigger and stronger, but it was still not completed when the king died. The king's widow continued the king's will, and during the reign of King Tilokaraj, the pagoda reached a height of 82 meters, making it the tallest building in Lanna at the time. However, the good times did not last long, and the top of the pagoda collapsed in a major earthquake in 1545.
Ancient Temple - Wat Chedi Luang
#changmai #thailand #temple #ancient #ancienttemples #history
Thailand has loads of temple situated all around the country. One popular temple called the Wat Chedi Luang located in the north of Thailand in changmai: 103 Prapokkloa Rd, Tambon Si Phum, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Chiang Mai 50200, Thailand is one of the oldest temple which dates back all the way to the 14 century.
The build of the temple is remarkable, especially back in the olden days where there isn't any machinery. This is definitely one amazing marvel ever built. Due to the ongoing refurbishments an entrance fee is required to enter in the grounds of the temple. Also, do remember to wear covered pants covering below your knees as this is still considered a scared ground.
Wat Chedi Luang: Earthquake vs. Temple
In the heart of Chiang Mai’s old town is a testament to the enduring legacy of Buddhism in Thailand.
Despite enduring the wrath of a 1545 earthquake, the main building of Wat Chedi Luang has stood for nearly 700 years. Admire how the disformed roof and exposed brick have persevered through centuries of conflict and erosion.
Elsewhere in the complex, explore the beautiful traditional architecture and reclining buddha, hallmarks of Chiang Mai’s oldest and most renowned temple.

Doi Suthep Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Jun)
Chiang Mai, the second largest city in Thailand, is both laid-back and exciting
The first stop in Thailand is Chiang Mai, a city whose name alone is enough to fall in love with. It was the favorite city of Teresa Teng, and although it is the second largest city in Thailand, it has the laziness and casualness of a small town, with long stories of small town life.
Many people don't want to leave once they come, so they stay and live here. Three short days are not enough to really get into Chiang Mai, but they are enough to get an initial impression.

Beautiful View Of Chiang Mai @Doi Suthep
Wat Phra That Doi Suthep Ratchaworawihan is a beautiful cultural icon of Chiang Mai. The temple grounds is very big and you'll need to climb a lot of stairs up to reach the top. But it's a nice climb as you'll be able to view the valleys and mountains of Chiang Mai at the observation deck. There were lots of people when we were here, both tourist and devotees, but the trip was well worth it if you're in Chiang Mai.
