Itinerary
Wat Chedi Luang Varavihara Wat Chedi Luang, this temple is the site of an enormous pagoda, originally 280 feet high, and which was partially destroyed by an earthquake in 1545. At one time, Wat Chedi Luang housed the revered Emerlad Buddha image now enshrined in Bangkok’s Wat Phra Kaew. One of Wat Chedi Luang’s most striking architectural features is a magnificent Naga staircase adorns the chapel’s front.
Wat Doi Suthep It is a tremendous temple complex with a visual delight every time you turn your head. It is popular with the tour buses, but wait for the tour to move on and enjoy. Give yourself plenty of time and you will not be disappointed.
Wat Pha Lat This temple is the ancient precursor (lower on the mountain) than Wat Phra That Doi Suthep. While a little less grand than it's younger sibling, it is steep with history, reverence, and peace. Boasting beautiful views of the city of Chang Mai, it is built on a stream with a seried of waterfalls. A terrific place for meditation or simple reflection. Go!!
Tha Phae Gate Romantic, Beautiful, Enchanting - these are the three words that I could sum up experiencing one of Chiang Mai's historic gates - The Tha Phae gate. When the city was founded by King Mangrai in 1296 these gates together with other gates (Chang Puak, Chiang Mai, Pratu Soan Dok) protect the old city. Tha Phae gate lies on the east of the city and made of Red bricks stone

Our guide (Som) is amazing. Very informative. Very caring. Very patient. She showed Grace when we were unsure what to do and she helped guide us when we wanted to participate in prayers, offerings, etc.. We were allowed to ask lots of questions and she answered them all. We told her we were most excited about visiting the temples in the mountain, so she changed the itinerary so we could start there and then end our tour closer to our hotel. All along the way she gave us history about the city. She gave us history about the Buddhas. She gave us history about the Royal Family. She gave us history about Thailand. Awesome tour, awesome time, again could not have been happier with everything. We highly recommend this tour for anybody who has time to get a little more history and culture of Chiang Mai.
Great way to see the 3 temples if you are time poor and want to do it in comfort
This was a really great tour that I would absolutely recommend. My guide, Som, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable, kind, and peaceful, somehow seeming to embody the soft spirit of the temples we visited. I learned a lot about Buddhism and Chiang Mai’s history while seeing some of its incredible architecture. The three temples we visited are all very different and impressive in their own way. Logistically, the tour was very smooth and operated with precision and great hospitality, as seems to be the norm in this great country.
It was a perfect itinerary for half day. Temples up the mountain were impressive. Our guide Ulala was wonderful. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Transportation was great. Very comfortable and clean car.
I had a great time. Som, my guide, was so friendly and knowledgeable. She had answers to all my questions and made sure I got the most from the experience. Thank you!

Oulala was so well educated on the history of the country and explained interesting information about the culture. Was an amazing guide and spoke fluent English. We learned so much in our private tour. Loved the locations we stopped at. Would highly recommend.
This tour with our tour guide, Som, was one of the best we have done in Thailand. The communication pre pick up was excellent, it started and ended as scheduled, and the tour and information we received was outstanding! The guide and driver were top-notch. This is a must do in Chiang Mai!
An excellent day out with our guide. Informative, well-paced. We would highly recommend.
