Tour Description
:
Visit and explore 4 revered
temples in Chiangmai.
All constructed during the Lanna period, each reflects the glory,
splendors and nobility of a rich historical era.
In the West of the city lies Wat
Suan Dok. Built by King
Kuna, the large white chedi towers above
the numerous small ones and contains the ashes of the Lanna King
and the remains of many generations of the old Chiangmai Royal
family. A short distance from Suan Dok Gate ( Western Gate ) is
Wat Phra Singh.
First built during the reign of Phra
Chao Kham Fu ( 1328-1335 ) the temple compound
includes the Lai Kam Chapel and the abbot of this important temple
is the head of the local religious administration. Lying smack
in the heart of the city ( almost right in the middle of the square-walled
city ) is Wat
Chedi Luang. The large chedi ( the biggest
in the city ) behind the viharn was constructed by King
Saen Muang Ma around 1401. Originally 90
meters high, it is now a mere 40 meters as the result of an earthquake
in 1545. A small building near the main entrance encloses the
“Sao Intakin”
( spirit of the city ). Last but not least is Wat
Chiang Mun. Lying in the Northern part of
the old walled city, it is the oldest temple within the city walls.
Constructed by King
Mengrai ( 1296-1311 ) the founder of Chiangmai,
it is said that the king spent his last years at this temple.
After all this heavy stuff, how about something light.
Drive around the old city to see the moat surrounding it and the
ruins of the city gates. Then visit the largest central market,
Worarot Market,
alive with its daily hustle and bustle. Exotic fresh fruits, preserved
food, local delicacies, clothes galore, flowers and other nick
nacks, all at reasonable prices. |
