Places to visit in Chiang Mai

Must-visits in Chiang Mai

Wat Phra That Doi Suthep

วัดพระธาตุดอยสุเทพ

---

My opinion :

A must see. On the top of a mountain, it is the most famous temple in the area. It is very popular with the thais and of course tourists and offers a magnificent view (often more clear in late afternoon) on Chiang Mai

Wat Phra Singh

วัดพระสิงห์

---

My opinion :

The most visited temple in the city, it is a perfect illustration of the nothern architectural style

Sunday Walking Street

ถนนคนเดินเชียงใหม่ วันอาทิตย์

---

My opinion :

This big night market takes place every Sunday night in the center of Chiang Mai including food stands in two temples. A popular ambience. We really suggest you to go even if you will not be alone !

Wat Palad

วัดผาลาด

---

My opinion :

is a charming forest temple with superb refined statues and a quiet and pleasant atmosphere. A small haven of peace often ignored by the many tourists who pass right by each day in their ascent to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep a few kilometers higher.

Saturday Walking Street

ถนนคนเดินวัวลาย

---

My opinion :

Big night market a little less known than Sunday Walking Street, Chiang Mai Saturday Walking Street also attracts a lot of people and allows you to do a little shopping and have dinner by tasting the local cuisine at the very numerous stalls and street restaurants. The neighboring Silver Temple is also superbly lit and open to the public these evenings.

Silver Temple

วัดศรีสุพรรณ

---

My opinion :

As its name suggests this temple is known for its hall covered internally and externally with silver finely carved or engraved. It is particularly beautiful at night with its colorful illuminations. Next to Saturday Walking Street, it's worth visiting it at the same time you enjoy the traditional Saturday pedestrian street in Chiang Mai.

Bo Sang Umbrella making village

บ่อสร้าง

---

My opinion :

This village a few kilometers from Chiang Mai is famous for its traditional umbrella making. Throughout the year, you can go there and visit the workshops to see all the stages of the confection and in January is held a big festival. In the village, umbrellas are ubiquitous but there are also workshops of silver work, wood carving...

Elephant Nature Park

---

My opinion :

It is the elephant sanctuary of reference in Thailand. There, you are sure to live a beautiful and respectful encounter with elephants. Because even if things slowly change (thanks to the work of Lek Chailert the founder of the park and the people she gathered around her), there are still many elephant camps or so-called sanctuaries where animal welfare is not a concern.

Straw King Kong statues

---

My opinion :

These giant King Kong statues built with rice straw became in a few months one of the great curiosities in Chiang Mai. They are installed near Huay Thung Tao Lake about ten kilometers from the city.
