Wat Chedi Luang
Heritage Temple
49 m

Wat Chedi Luang

The Temple of the Great Stupa features a 14th-century chedi that once stood 82 metres tall — the tallest structure in Lanna history. Partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1545, it remains awe-inspiring. The sacred Emerald Buddha was enshrined here for 84 years. Evening monk chanting creates an unforgettable atmosphere.

Wat Phan Tao
Heritage Temple
113 m

Wat Phan Tao

Adjacent to Wat Chedi Luang, this temple houses the largest teak Viharn in Thailand — a masterpiece of Lanna woodwork featuring intricate gilded panels and peacock motifs. Every October–November, Wat Phan Tao hosts the most atmospheric Yi Peng candle ceremony, when thousands of glowing paper lanterns (khom loi) rise into the night sky in a scene of extraordinary beauty.

Three Kings Monument
Featured Landmark
251 m

Three Kings Monument

This bronze monument at the heart of the old city depicts the three kings who founded Chiang Mai in 1296: Mengrai of Lanna, Ramkhamhaeng of Sukhothai, and Ngam Mueang of Phayao. A symbol of Northern Thai unity and a popular gathering spot, it stands directly in front of the Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Centre.

Chiang Mai City Arts & Cultural Centre

Housed in a beautifully restored 1920s colonial building (the former provincial hall), this museum traces 700 years of Lanna Kingdom history through multimedia exhibits, artefacts, ancient maps, royal regalia, and traditional costumes.
