Highlights
- Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara - Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara Wat Chedi Luang, this temple is the site of an enormous pagoda, originally 280 feet high, and which was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1545. At one time, Wat Chedi Luang housed the revered Emerlad Buddha image now enshrined in Bangkok’s Wat Phra Kaew. One of Wat Chedi Luang’s most striking architectural features is a magnificent Naga staircase adorns the chapel’s front.
- Wat Phra That Doi Suthep - Wat Doi Suthep It is a tremendous temple complex with a visual delight every time you turn your head. It is popular with the tour buses, but wait for the tour to move on and enjoy. Give yourself plenty of time and you will not be disappointed.
- Wat Pha Lat - Wat Pha Lat This temple is the ancient precursor (lower on the mountain) than Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. While a little less grand than it’s younger sibling, it is steep with history, reverence, and peace. Boasting beautiful views of the city of Chang Mai, it is built on a stream with a seried of waterfalls. A terrific place for meditation or simple reflection. Go!!
-
Tha Phae Gate - Tha Phae Gate Romantic, Beautiful, Enchanting - these are the three words that I could sum up experiencing one of Chiang Mai’s historic gates - The Tha Phae gate. When the city was founded by King Mangrai in 1296 these gates together with other gates (Chang Puak, Chiang Mai, Pratu Soan Dok) protect the old city. Tha Phae gate lies on the east of the city and made of Red bricks stone
Conclude your half-day tour with the return to your Chiang Mai hotel.

A A tour filled with beauty and history! - This tour was a wonderful way to see some of the most beautiful and iconic places in Bangkok! Our guide, Pui, brought everything to life for us with her deep knowledge of the history of Thailand and the Royal families. We felt like we packed a huge amount of knowledge into just 4 hours and our senses were overwhelmed with the sheer beauty of the workmanship in the palace and temples and the depth of the spirituality and devotion that is in evidence everywhere you look. I highly recommend this tour and Pui as a guide!
