Thailand Travel Day 2: Several Temples in Chiang Mai

The second day in Thailand, which is also the first official day of sightseeing, allows for a general tour of the main temples in the old city area of Chiang Mai. There are several money exchange places on the main street, with varying rates. A couple of them on the street by the Larmine Loci Hotel offer suitable rates. 👣Route: Walk to Tapae Gate - Wat Mengrai - Wat Phan Tao - Wat Chedi Luang - Wat Phra Singh for a visit, then take a tuk-tuk to The faces gallery & gastro bar, where dishes related to mango are recommended. This restaurant opens at 13:00, so make sure not to go too early! After lunch, walk 700 meters to visit the Silver Temple. The Silver Temple gives female visitors a keychain as a souvenir, and in addition, everyone with a ticket can exchange it for a bottle of mineral water at the small shop opposite. Thailand is quite hot, so you can go back to the hotel for a little rest in the afternoon. Our hotel is about 900m away from the riverside market (Khlong mae kha), which is quite crowded. Both sides of the river are lined with stalls, mainly selling handicrafts and some food stalls. The market is a great place to take photos of the dusk, and after a round, you can find a restaurant to dine in. There are many foreigners in Chiang Mai, giving it a European street vibe, and the atmosphere is very nice. 💰Costs: Wat Chedi Luang entrance fee: 50 baht/person Silver Temple entrance fee: 50 baht/person The faces restaurant lunch: 400 baht per person on average
