Interesting wanderings in the Old City 👣👣

We could easily find various attractions while wandering around the town centre. The places is peaceful and was also decorated with colourful and pretty lanterns during its lantern festival. 🎏🪅 Attractions: 🏮Wat Inthakhin (its name in Thai) is a tiny lovely Buddhist temple with traditional Lanna architecture, and located near the Three Kings monument, which stands at an odd angle to the street. 🏮 Wat Saen Muang Ma Luang (Wat Hua Khuang) is a magnificent temple with ornately decorated buildings and located in a large area. #timetotravel #culturalattractions #familytravel #tripblazers

I would be heartbroken if anyone missed this hotel in Chiang Mai.

Internet-famous hotel "The Inside House" Located in the ancient city, with a 711 at the doorstep. Small hotels are full of details, every corner is a photo opportunity. If you come to Chiang Mai and don't stay here for a night, I will be sad. Failed to book a room with a pool, but I will come back next time! Upon check-in, a welcome drink is provided. The hotel has prepared fruits and desserts in the room. From 1pm to 5pm, there are complimentary drinks and fixed desserts for afternoon tea. At night, there will be a goodnight dessert on the bedside table, which is really thoughtful. In the bathroom, there are lipsticks, nail clippers, and even a curling iron. The fruits in the room are updated every day, and there are also flowers and orchids decorating the minibar in the cabinet, all of which are free. Every corner is full of Moroccan style, white buildings wrapped in green plants, perfectly designed. The only downside is that the scent in the hotel is all almond flavor, and I hate almond flavor.

Freely go to Chiang Mai in Thailand.

Chiang Mai is a foreign city that is particularly suitable for independent travel. The travel services on Ctrip are comprehensive, with airport pick-up and drop-off services for only 10-30 RMB, half-day tours to "Doi Suthep Temple" and "Bhubing Palace", family-friendly activities such as "Mae Wang Elephant Camp" and "Night Safari", and the most recommended one-day tour to the White Temple and Black Temple in Chiang Rai. On the day of departure, there will be a special car to pick up and drop off at the hotel. Even if your English is poor, there will be a Chinese tour guide accompanying you throughout the journey. I chose to depart on Friday because as a foodie, I didn't want to miss the most famous Saturday and Sunday night markets in Chiang Mai, where there are various cheap and delicious snacks and exquisite handmade products for sale. Chiang Mai is the second largest city in Thailand. It not only has a leisurely pace, but also is full of ancient and profound cultural heritage. You can walk around in slippers on the streets and alleys, and if you get tired, you only need to take a tuk-tuk or songthaew for 20 baht (5 RMB) as transportation. Strolling through any street or alley in the ancient city of Chiang Mai, you can encounter magnificent or peaceful Buddhist temples. This small city with a population of 500,000 surprisingly has over 300 temples of all sizes, and you may get confused. However, there are several particularly famous temples that you must visit. The first "Wat Phra Singh". It is the largest Buddhist temple in Chiang Mai, built in the 14th century, and is a perfect example of Lanna-style architecture. The first thing that catches your eye when entering the temple is the glittering golden Buddha statue, and the murals in the hall depict the ancient local costumes and customs. In the center of the temple is a 20-meter golden white tower, which is a strong representative style of Thai temples. The second "Qidilong Temple", also known as the Big Buddha Temple, is decorated with snakes and peacocks at the temple gate. There is a huge Buddha statue in the main hall, and the sense of space and the golden decorations inside the temple are very magnificent and exquisite. Along the path to the back square, there is a big Buddha pagoda. Although the ancient pagoda has been weathered by time and earthquakes, it appears majestic and magnificent under the reflection of the golden lotus flowers, with a simple and rustic charm. The third "Wat Chiang Man", the first temple in Chiang Mai, was built in 1300 and is the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. The best building in the temple is the stupa of the main temple, which is surrounded by 15 elephants at the base, giving it a simple and vicissitudinous appearance that contrasts sharply with the dazzling golden elephant spire. Not far from the city, the "Double Dragon Temple" on the Suthep Mountain, also known as the Suthep Temple, is named after two long dragons sitting and lying on both sides of the steps. It is a famous Buddhist summer resort in Thailand. The Thai royal summer palace is also built on Suthep Mountain. The Phuping Palace can be opened to the public when the royal family is not there from April to December. The palace has beautiful white walls and yellow tiles, and is located in the green mountains and trees, with its own beauty of coolness and peace. The two breathtaking temples in Chiang Rai, the White Temple and the Black Temple, are the highlights of a trip to Chiang Mai. The White Temple was built by designer Cheler Mchai at his own expense and was first established in 1997. The entire complex is pure white and lustrous, with only small pieces of polished glass as borders or decorations, which is quite different from the usual temples. The details, such as the flying birds on the eaves, the standing statues on the roof, the reclining turtles on the pillars, and the flowing clouds on the flags, all reflect the exquisite and delicate design, which is a masterpiece of art. The White Temple tells the story of how one can reach the Buddhist paradise by crossing the Naihe Bridge and avoiding the temptation of hell with a single-minded focus. Next to the White Temple is a "glittering" golden building, which is actually a toilet and is probably the most beautiful toilet in the world. The Black Temple is located in a forest of lush grass, consisting of many intricately constructed Thai temples made of original logs. The theme of the Black Temple is hell and death, with water buffalo skulls lined up on the ground, animal skins and large shells on the table, and a complete elephant skeleton and dried snake specimens on display. The creator, Mr. Thawan Duchanee, spent 36 years gradually designing and building this huge open-air, garden-style private art museum. His disciple and friend, a Buddhist artist, was inspired by him to create the still unfinished White Temple. In Chiang Mai, magnificent temples can be seen everywhere, filled with the mysterious charm of Eastern Buddhist culture. With cheap prices and convenient transportation, it is definitely a perfect place for you to temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle of the city and people you see with your eyes open or closed, and let yourself fly. Take some beautiful photos that will make you want to cry and savor them slowly.

Best Matcha in Chiang Mai

Magokoro Teahouse, just along the perimeter of Chiang Mai old town, might just be the top choice for all Matcha Lovers out there.

My husband and I had the most unforgetable trip in North of Thailand. Aside from seeing their popular temples, we spent a day with the elephants, and did an hour of ziplining in the mountain which happened to be the coolest thing I've ever done. Chiangmai will always be one of my favorite trips in Southeast Asia, there is so much to do and see! I can't wait to come back. #merrychristmas #chiangmaitravel #couplestrip #elephantsanctuary #hashtags #unforgetabletrip #merrychristmas

Thailand Travel | Bangkok and Chiang Mai can not miss the big night market, worth collecting in Thailand, every night the theme is always inseparable from the night market, it is too much to go shopping, now put Bangkok and Chiang Mai List it for the babies who are going to Thailand. The night market in Bangkok is: 1Khao San market (Korean Road Night Market), the gathering place of backpackers from all over the world, every day, the weekend is very lively, the whole article The street is in the state of Party and there are various performances. 2Silom night market, refers to the stalls between Sala Daeng and Sarah, which are between the two roads of Convent.

The night market in Chiang Mai is not as many as Bangkok, but! ! ! A Sunday night market can kill all! !

There are many stories in the small town, full of joy and joy. If you come to a small town, you will have a special harvest. Everyone is familiar with Teresas song "Small Town Story" is the place where Chiang Mai was born. Teresa Teng has visited Thailand many times before her life, and her favorite place is Chiang Mai. Unlike the bustling city of Bangkok, Chiang Mai is a peaceful and relaxed city, with leisure and laziness everywhere, so you have to slow down and live here.

Chiang Mai, known as the "Northern Rose", is a small and comfortable town. Chedi Dragon Temple, Ssangyong Temple and Suthep Mountain are all not to be missed. Here you can stroll through the ancient city, visit the night market, taste local cuisine, live luxury hotels, learn Thai food, enjoy authentic spas, and the small fresh art style of Ningman Road!

There is a city, it is a garden, the trees are light and cast shadows, and the people gather around the porcelain pot full of coffee. It is a temple with a quiet belief in the air. It is an ancient city, and every inch of land tells a glorious history. It is the food capital and the specialities that they serve are very memorable. It is called Chiang Mai. The wind, trees, walls, temples and sky have left a lasting impression on me. The spirit of Buddha is everywhere. As one of the most joyous festivals in Thailand, you can celebrate the Lantern Festival through a daytime walk in the ancient city of Chiang Mai. The city is full of lights and a festive atmosphere. Candlelight can be seen everywhere in the evening, reflecting the beautiful figure of young men and women, forming a warm night of the Lantern Festival. This is a feast of lights. The ancient city of Chiang Mai is particularly eye-catching on this night, sacred and full of romance.

When you travel to Thailand must experience a double decker bus, which is a main feature of Thai transportation. On the way, you will find that there are more buses than taxis, and they are super nice to watch. Later, it was found that in so many cities in Thailand, Chiang Mai has the greatest number of double decker buses. The pace of life here is slower so it is more suitable for these buses to run here. The double decker bus come in many colours; red, blue, green and yellow. The price to ride a double decker bus is 50-70, but the locals tell me that if you speak English, the drivers tend to raise the price.

It's not the Europe of the Renaissance that has strayed into the Versailles Garden in Chiang Mai

It's my second visit to Chiang Mai, and this quiet little city is full of hidden gems. In an inconspicuous corner of the northwest of the old city of Chiang Mai, there is a white European-style building with golden decorations, distressed murals, and carvings, all exuding a Renaissance style. 🏛 There is a separate building that you must visit, where you need to remove your shoes. The carvings and the colored window grilles inside are really exquisite, as if they are the palaces of the Versailles Garden. - 📍Versailles de flore ☕️ You can enjoy coffee and afternoon tea, 🏊🏻 and there is also a swimming pool for a swim.

Scattered images of Chiang Mai's old city and suburbs

The temple bells in the old city ring at dawn, their sound crisp and rhythmic. As the curtain at the corner of the window is lifted, the sky is ink-dark. In the next moment, a faint light appears from nowhere, it is so frail that it could be swallowed by darkness at any time. The darkness of the night, like a celestial beast, wishes to devour all light and the souls of those bathed in it. In the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, the sky is finally pierced by light, and at this moment, its power is amplified a thousandfold. The pagodas and Buddha statues are draped in a golden glow. Beams of light stretch towards different directions, and the various lights eventually merge into the roundness of heaven and the squareness of earth. The darkness collapses, bowing to the ground, and finally curls up towards the Suthep Mountain, fleeing into the jungle.

Chiang Mai Old City Temple Walking Tour

👣I recommend a Chiang Mai City Walk, a one-day temple pilgrimage route You can visit several important and classic temples at a leisurely pace ⏮Start from Wat Chedi Luang in the center of the old city This is the tallest temple in the old city, which is said to be the pillar that shelters the city The tower is already dilapidated, and the mottled stone statues on it tell the vicissitudes of time ➡️Coming out of Wat Chedi Luang is Wat Phan Tao The golden stupa and the dark teak temple complement each other Colorful flags can be seen fluttering in the wind everywhere in the temple ⬆️Continuing north, you can reach Wat Chiang Man It is said to be the oldest temple in Chiang Mai The base of the stupa is adorned with sculptures of 15 elephants The whole temple is shaded by green trees, very serene, suitable for a quiet sit in the afternoon ⬆️It is very close to the north gate of the old city here You can visit Wat Lok Molee near the north gate The all-black temple body has a mysterious feel reminiscent of the Black Temple in Chiang Rai ⏬Finally, you can head south back to the old city to Wat Phra Singh This is the largest and most revered temple in the old city, with a bustling incense offering The temple is luxuriously decorated, with gorgeous golden stupas and inlaid paintings that are very beautiful ✔️On Sundays, this is also the starting point for the weekly night market ⏭In addition to the above temples, there are also some small unnamed temples that you can explore slowly along the way 🌟Some tips 🌞The climate in Chiang Mai is cool and dry (compared to Bangkok and Phuket), but it is still hot at noon, you can spend the heat in a cafe or restaurant, most temples have no shelter, so be prepared for sun protection 💰The temples in Chiang Mai Old City are free except for Wat Chedi Luang, which costs 50🐷

Stroll through Chiang Mai slowly, and step into Wat Chedi Luang

🌟 Highlights: Wat Chedi Luang is probably the largest temple in the old city of Chiang Mai, featuring typical Lanna-style architecture. The main hall is grand and resplendent with gold, and once inside, you can sit on the floor. Despite the crowd, it doesn't feel noisy at all. The most famous part of the temple is the ancient and majestic great stupa, surrounded by many Buddha halls. These buildings with ethnic characteristics, nestled among the tropical plants of Southeast Asia, form a beautiful picture. Walking slowly around the great stupa, a sense of antiquity hits you, accompanied by the clear sound of wind chimes, adding to the tranquility and simplicity. ✨ Temple Highlights: ✅ As you enter the temple, there is a small hall on the side with a sign stating that women are not allowed inside. The reason for this is that the hall enshrines the city pillar of Chiang Mai - the Inthakin City Pillar. According to Chiang Mai legend, the Inthakin City Pillar was built by the god Indra for the stability of Chiang Mai, and the pillar serves as a reminder to the people to adhere to the Five Precepts of Buddhism. The people of Chiang Mai believe that the city pillar represents the prosperity and happiness of the city, and it is sacred and inviolable. Therefore, to this day, women, especially those in their menstrual period, are considered impure and are not allowed to approach. The hall is not large, but all four walls are adorned with exquisite murals. Apart from this, there is no such distinction in other areas of the temple. ✅ The Buddha statue at the entrance of the main hall allows visitors to buy gold leaf to stick on it, or to find and stick on their own zodiac sign. ✅ The tall and majestic stupa offers a massive visual impact. This great stupa is the oldest structure in the temple. After the 1545 Chiang Mai earthquake, the top of the stupa collapsed overnight, so what you see now is a flat top. Walking around and admiring it, each angle offers its own magnificent view. The stupa has stairs on only one side, and on the south side of the stupa, there are six elephant sculptures, five of which were rebuilt later, with only the one without a nose and ears being the original. 🎫 Ticket Information: Tickets are 40 Thai Baht, open from 06:00-18:00. 🚉 Transportation Tips: The temple is located at the southern end of PhraPokklao Road in the old city of Chiang Mai. Generally, those staying in the old city or nearby can walk there.

Chiang Mai Ancient City Temple Pilgrimage, Experience the Architecture and Charm of Northern Thailand

Thai people have a unique artistic talent in temple construction, and the temples in Chiang Mai each have their own characteristics, worthy of a pilgrimage one by one. The White Temple is known for its pure white purity, the Black Temple is a modern museum that integrates architectural aesthetics, and the Blue Temple makes extensive use of blue and Lanna elements. In the old city area, there is the historically significant Wat Phra Singh, the Lanna-style Wat Chiang Man, and Wat Chedi Luang with its Sri Lankan stupa. The glittering Twin Dragons Temple on Suthep Mountain is also a must-visit attraction. You can follow the travel agency's recommended route to experience the charm of different temples in the ancient city and feel the unique architectural art and cultural atmosphere of Northern Thailand. This temple tour is sure to make you linger and forget to return.

Chiang Mai's Old City, where travel returns to authenticity

Let go of the travel guides, make no plans, the Old City of Chiang Mai itself is the best itinerary. Stroll through the ancient city, step into the shaded courtyard restaurants, and experience the essence of slow living; visit ancient temples, feel the local history and culture; take photos with the pigeon flocks, capturing beautiful moments; indulge in the night market snacks, enjoying a feast for the taste buds. Throughout the day, various delights are right beside you, without deliberate arrangements, yet you encounter unexpected surprises. For instance, stumbling upon a boutique clothing store, where the owner provides attentive service and supports mobile payments. A light blue floral dress, simple, versatile, and flattering. Or, meeting a humorous and witty Chinese tutor at a massage shop, someone you still think about after the trip ends. Isn't life just like this, with its randomness and simplicity, it becomes intoxicating and unforgettable. Slow down, feel with your heart, Chiang Mai will let you rediscover the essence of travel.

Chiang Mai's local cultural and art center, the elegant and peaceful Kalm Village

Visit Chiang Mai again, and there are many surprises! For example, the Kalm Village, which has only been opened in the center of the old city of Chiang Mai for nearly two years, is a local cultural center that integrates handicrafts, art, food, experiences, and shopping. The village architecture itself is very distinctive and has won many local and international design awards. The beautiful, elegant, and peaceful Kalm Village was co-founded by the Chiang Mai architect family, the Kruat siblings. Here, artists are invited to reside, and regular art exhibitions and handicraft workshops are held. Through character dialogues and thematic activities, the charming art and culture of Northern Thailand are presented. It's worth spending time to experience this place properly. In the exhibition hall, I saw a traditional weaving loom and watched a video of handwoven rug making. Most of the works here combine tradition with modernity. Plant-dyed fabrics are turned into designer clothes and home goods. Bamboo weaving, woodwork, and ceramics, these handicrafts are the art closest to life; they are not aloof but are everyday companions. The three-story Glass Pavilion displays a dreamy fabric installation. Through the colored fabric, you can see the beautiful view of the nearby Chedi Luang Temple. This rooftop must be even more beautiful at dusk. The cafe and restaurant on the first floor feature Thai Benz coffee and special drinks, as well as authentic Thai cuisine inspired by the Kruat grandmother. If I have enough time, I could quietly spend a few hours in this place, which I really like!
