Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara, 103 Phra Pok Klao Road Phra Singh, Chiang Mai 50200 Thailand
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.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Mueang Chiang Mai District, Doi Suthep 50200 Thailand
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.
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Wat Pha Lat, Ban Huai Pha Lat 101, Chiang Mai 50200 Thailand
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!!
Duration: 30 minutes
Stop At: Tha Phae Gate, Moon Muang Rd., Chiang Mai 50200 Thailand
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.

Amazing morning to see such beauty Temple grounds. Guide and driver in beautiful Van. Wat Palad Temple is one of the beautiful hidden gems I’ve witnessed in my 8 years of travel to Thailand. The massive Temple in town, over 800 hundred years old. At a time when Chiang Mai was not even part of Thailand. A great history lesson for the beginning of Thailand. I highly recommend this Tour.299PeterD

We visited three main temple. Wat Chedi Luang was the first one. Lots to see here, but I especially liked the ruined (by earthquake) pagoda and the paintings inside the Inthakhin Pillar (sadly women not allowed in). Then onto Wat Phra Sing. Amazing gold pagodas. Final destination is What Suan Dok...
We visited three main temple. Wat Chedi Luang was the first one. Lots to see here, but I especially liked the ruined (by earthquake) pagoda and the paintings inside the Inthakhin Pillar (sadly women not allowed in). Then onto Wat Phra Sing. Amazing gold pagodas. Final destination is What Suan Dok. What's great here is all the white mausoleums for member of the former Kingdom of Chiang Mai. Still today family members have their ashes placed here. May was an excellent guide, easy to understand. She told us of some much more to see, but we didn't have time. I guess we'll just have to come back!Adam_M

This is a very nice 4 hour tour focusing on old temples in the old part of the city. The architecture here was very different from the numerous other temples we visited in Bangkok and Chiang Rai. The unique history behind the city of Chiang Mai is also brought out on this tour. Highly recommended...

Als erstes muss man sagen dass die Tour kurzfristig von 13.00 Uhr auf 8.30 Uhr verschoben wurde. Der Veranstalter war bemüht uns das mitzuteilen. Da wir nicht auf TripAdvisor nachgeschaut haben, ist uns diese Nachricht aber entgangen. Dafür wurde im Hotel angerufen, was wir über die Rezeption erfahren haben, da wir zur Zeit des Anrufers abwesend waren. Aber- es hat sehr gut funktioniert. Die Tour war dann nicht im Minibus sondern eigentlich schon eine private Tour mit nur uns beiden als Teilnehmer. Unsere Fahrerin war nett aber wir hatten eigentlich nur mit unserem Tourguide Ben zu tun. Der war voller Tatendrang und Informationen, so dass ich ihn manchmal Bremsen musste um auch für meinen Partner zu übersetzen der weniger English spricht. Das tat der Sache aber keinen Abbruch. Wir hatten für alle 4 Tempel ausreichend Zeit, jede Menge sehr interessante Informationen und einen Guide der auch unserem Wunsch nach einer kurzen Trinkpause effektiv nachgekommen ist. Auch wenn die letzte Wat im Regen besichtigt werden musste, so war mit Schirmen vorgesorgt. Alles in allem eine sehr schöne Tour wenn man nur wenig Zeit in Chiang Mai hat.ham1nyc

The Wat was a very special place with such beautiful art, sculpture and carvings. The opulence was everywhere with pure gold and jade all around.
