Tourist Places In Chiang Mai

The varied culture of Thailand and its verdant landscape attracts a lot of tourists to discover the best places here. Chiang Mai, ideally an old city, is situated on a hilly region of Thailand which was a part of the capital of Lanna Kingdom. And Lanna Kingdom, in itself, is a hit-list destination for all creed of travelers. Chiang Mai is teeming with an array of wonders to take a loot at. Although there is an endless list of places one can visit in the city, here are the top 10 places that you just cannot miss out.

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep - One of the most sacred temples in Thailand, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep sits on a mountain throne and overlooks the city from its seat. The wát is a fine specimen of the phenomenal architecture of northern Thailand. The temple has a 306-step staircase designed in the form of a snake-trail. You can climb the stairs to redeem himself, according to Buddhist ideology. Breadfruit trees, rock gardens, small shrines and monuments are found at the terrace which is again a tranquil place. You will also find a dragon statue at the entrance, named as ‘Mom’.

Wat Chedi Luang - Considered to be the largest building in ancient Chiang Mai, Wat Chedi Luang is the ruins of the destruction of time, either due to an earthquake or canon fire, reason remains obscure. The ruins were restored by UNESCO and in the year 1990, the govt of Japan prevented any further degradation. During your visit here, you can easily spot the restoration work on the naga staircase. There are five elephant structures found on the base of the stupa. The sculptures remain unfinished as the restorers could not figure out what it looked like.

Talat Warorot - Talat Warorot is the oldest public market in Chiang Mai. It is a frequent hub for tourists who look out for shopping. The aura of the place makes you feel connected to the Thai soul of the city. You will find a number of stalls selling items ranging from regular Thai households to fresh & dried meat, and little souvenirs. You will just need a half day to cover most of the stalls and then wander along the alleyways, meanwhile bargaining for goods that will actually be left unattended at home, later.

Wat Phra Singh - It is the most respected temple in Chiang Mai. The temple is equipped with a giant, mosaic-lined sanctuary known as wí·h?hn. You can easily see the lavish monastic buildings from the trimmed grounds where coffee is planted and massage pavilions find home. Tourists come in large number to Wat Phra Singh to seek blessings from the idol of Buddha which is placed inside a small chapel in the rear end of the temple. This small chapel features gilded naga gables and a gold-pattern stenciling.

Lanna Folklife Museum - This museum is located inside a Provincial Court, redolent on a Thai-colonial-style. On your visit to this place, you will find humongous dioramas that retell the stories of past, starting from lai·krahm pottery stencilling to the complex symbolism of various elements of Lanna-style monasteries.You can stop here once before continuing further with your tour. Wat

Sri Suphan - The professional silversmiths have painstakingly decorated the Wat Sri Suphan with their excellent skills of craftsmanship. The main ordination hall is bejeweled with silver, nickel and aluminium panels. The metal works are then adorned with intricate repoussé-work designs. You will be amazed to find that it looks just like a large jewelry box illuminated by colorful lights, especially in the dark. The temple was founded in the year 1502 and has been preserved with much care. You will find certain images that show the confluence of Zen, Taoist and Theravada Buddhist elements. Also, you shall come across a gold and silver statue of Ganesha here.

Wat U Mong - It is a scrub forest which is scattered along the platform containing images of Buddha along it. Wat U Mong is located just 600 m away from Th Suthep near the Chiang Mai university. There are signs that guide you to the right monastery or you can also ask the driver to directly take you there. The monks who look after the place raise farm animals around a pristine, artificial lake here.

Talat Ton LamYai - Lately converted into an animated flower market from a congested household market, Talat Ton LamYai is located just adjacent to the Talat Warorot. It is a mesmerising flower market where a lot of tourists come every year. You will be delighted to see the fresh flowers weaved along with banana leaves to form elaborate sculptures and home decors. During your day tour, you will find fresh & wet markets in Talat Ton LamYai also features fresh and wet market with items such as dried goods, Buddhist decorations, toys, clothing and more.

Bhubing Palace - The palace is open only during those times when the royals are not visiting it. The interesting thing about the Palace is the uniform code. You will be asked to put on bottoms that fall below mid-calf and the shoulders should be covered without any scarves. The climate remains pleasantly soothing as it is located on the mountains.

Wiang Kum Kam - It was the capital of Lanna Kingdom for nearly ten years from the year 1286. The city is founded on the banks of the Mae Ping which encircles a wonderful view. The city is now an excavated ruin where you will find the lanes winding up on a small village, some 5km away from Chiang Mai.

    Himanshu's 7 days trip to Chiang Mai

    Disclaimer: This review is solely based on our experience as a group of 8 people who travelled to Thailand (Phuket-Krabi-Bangkok) in March,2023. Nothing mentioned below is personal. We had a pathetic experience with the travel agency – NAVIGATIO ASIA, because of the following pointers: • The pers
    on coordinating was rude to us from the moment after we made the payment. Since we were a group of 8, in case two of us asked any questions – he became angry saying I am coordinating with multiple groups simultaneously so I am not entitled to reply to everyone. While this might seem fair, but the approach with which he dealt to our queries were quite rude – with negative connotation used almost always. • No details of the drivers were shared to us (not even taxi number) who came for our pickup. Every time we had to follow up on where we should stand, where should we wait and it became unnecessarily chaotic. I’ll give an example – We had booked for “private cab” from Phuket to Krabi. The pickup time was 10 am. One of us came to the reception (while others were in breakfast lobby) at around 9:50 am to enquire if any cab was waiting for us. There were none. Two of us came to the lobby before 10 am and slowly all of us joined. We were standing there till 10:20 am waiting for the cab. Since the cab didn’t come, I called the agent asking if he could help us with the pickup. His immediate reaction was “Why are you informing me 20 mins later? Why couldn’t you call me at 10 am sharp?” I was shocked, because his response was anything but empathetic – he didn’t ask whether we checked with the receptionist, where were we standing, what were we wearing or anything. After enquiring, he said that since it was a “private pickup” the cab left. Now tell me guys, how can a “private” pickup leave us and go without asking for us? How did the taxi driver enquire for us, without even asking at the reception let alone coming to the breakfast area? While we saw other cab drivers taking the pain, coming to the breakfast area with placard or shouting the name of the person asking if (s)he was present; throughout our trips we were never called by our names/nor were we greeted with any placards (except airport pickup). Coming back to the story, that day we had to wait for 10-15 more mins when finally our taxi arrived, however our travel agent behaved with us as if he’s doing a favour to us by booking another cab. • One day in Krabi, we were supposed to go for 4 island tour. 6 out of 8 of us feel a little ill & didn’t want to exhaust themselves – while 2 of us wanted to join (since all of us had already paid for the tour). That day we were supposed to have a private pickup taxi & a private long tail boat. When I informed the agent, telling him about the issue (in all good faith, thinking he’ll help us with it) and requested the agent that 2 of us are ready to go for the tour if he could take our pickup at 9:15 am (instead of 9 am) – his first reaction was 2 of you can’t go in a private pickup so you’ll have to adjust in a shared pickup & shared boat. We didn’t say anything and accepted it. 10 minutes after he calls again, saying that all the boats have left for today & there are no available boats (complete lie, because boats leave even in afternoon, not just morning) and told that I can’t accommodate you in any long tail/speed boat. Instead, I can arrange a complimentary long tail boat for 1 of the other beaches (which is significantly cheaper than what we had booked earlier). I requested again, if we could be accommodated (remember guys, we were just 15 minutes late to our committed time) to which he didn’t agree and finally we had to compromise for only 1 beach. • We had specifically told in our tour package that we had booked that we want to cover 2 temples – Marble Buddha & Mini Reclining. However, he removed mini reclining (of course because the ticket price was more) & included Golden Buddha instead. We didn’t argue this time, because it was our 2nd last day of tour and we were already very frustrated with our experience. Despite writing in WhatsApp message (in group) and sending reminder, he removed Mini reclining from the itinerary. • Two of our friends stayed back in Thailand for 3-4 days more. They had extended the package (paid more premium for better hotels) through the same agency. Now, before the day they took their flight – they had requested the travel agent to send an “SUV” and not a sedan because they had too much luggage. They even reminded him on the very day. As expected, he sent a Sedan and not an SUV. After talking to him, his justification was – “An SUV costs 1000 THB more than Sedan”. Now, I’ll give you certain facts – since all of us (8 in our group) returned by different flights at different times we opted out from the “8-seater SUV” pickup service to airport. The refund amount for “8-10 seater SUV” by the same travel agent was only 700 THB (we didn’t argue). However, when 2 of us requested (by paying additional) for an SUV, he sited this point. I write all of this, with utmost pain & frustration & have nothing against anyone in person – that’s why I haven’t mentioned the name of the person who was handling us. Please understand, that many of us go for foreign travels maybe once in few years to enjoy our vacation & book through travel agents to skip the hassle of dealing with every bookings individually. However, this experience was not at all hassle free – it seemed like a fight every single day where we had to stay alert for our pickups, even if we were in the reception, we feared that the agent might blame it on us for no show! The drivers who came for the pickup were very kind & empathetic – much more than the travel agency. The hotels we picked (remember we selected the hotels) through our agents were good & had very nice swimming pools & facilities. To those who book – please ask for the “National Park Fees” which is not included in your package & you are charged 300 THB/200 THB later per person. That time, you don’t have any choice but to pay it, since it’s the govt. tax you are paying – it is better if it is informed to you before you make the booking. We, as a group also found the agent should have given us small tips – like not to sit in the speedboat in the front (because if there’s high tide/waves it will break your back) which could have made the trip a little more hassle free. Hope this helps! Landscapes of Phi Phi Island, Tigers in Tiger Kingdom, Safari World - Bangkok.
