- Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara - Wat Chedi Luang is a Buddhist temple in the historic center of Chiang Mai. At its peak, the chedi measured 60 meters across at the square base and 80 meters tall and was once the home of the Emerald Buddha, Thailand’s most sacred religious relic.
- Wat Sri Suphan - The Wat Sri Suphan is one of the oldest in Chiang Mai, built initially between 1495 and 1515. It’s been destroyed and rebuilt over the centuries. There are still boundary stones in the complex that show the original building. Within the complex, there is a stone tablet over 500 years old. The language on the tablet is Faak Khaam which predates the Lanna. The actual Silver Temple itself is now the main shrine. Afterward, you’ll visit Warorot Market (Kad Luang). Warorot Market is one of the places where lots of Thai locals do their shopping, so expect to find the same or similar goods that you see at other Markets also sold here but cheaper and usually of better quality.

Love the fact that the tour was... - <p>Love the fact that the tour was private and we can modify the activities a little bit and not worry about other peoples plan. Our tour guide was a monk before and he really answer the questions about budhaism in such a loving mindful way that it helped me to understand and respect the monk lifestyle better. because I asked him to pick me up at 5:45 am we got to do a lot that day that I asked him to call off some other temples that were in the agenda. I wish I would have more space in my suitcase to buy more things at the local market to bring back home.</p>
