The Great Buddha Pagoda Temple (also known as Chidilong Temple or Chari Luan Temple) is the most famous temple in the urban area of Chiang Mai. It's a very large building complex. The sacred and solemn pagoda, built in 1411, is nearly 80 meters tall. The pagoda is carved with delicate pagoda-guarding spiritual snakes on all sides and six elephant sculptures on the pagoda. Although not the original building (which was destroyed in the great earthquake of the 16th century), it can also be seen that it was quite spectacular. There are many buildings in the temple. There are two halls behind the Buddhist pagoda. In the middle of the hall, there is a wax figure of a monk dressed in charisma. His eyes are bright and lifelike. The environment inside the temple is very tidy, many flowers and plants are planted, with a faint fragrance. Tall trees prove the very ancient history here. People hang their wishes on the trees and pray for the protection of Buddha.

    Pros1. Free parking but on the road side2. Entry ticket is about 40-50 THB3. The temple complex is big4. The older temple is similar to those in Ayutthaya. It might be as high as a 10 story building.5. There is a man only temple. The temple is quite intricate with details.6. Clean toilets7. Located inside the old city in Chiang Mai.Considerations1. Please wear full length clothes2. Might visit in the evening to avoid the Sun. Also have dinner at any nearby restaurant, there are several.

    Wat Chedi Luang, a revered temple in Chiang Mai, Thailand, captivates with its ancient grandeur. The towering pagoda, partially ruined by time, exudes a mystical aura. Intricate sculptures and stone elephants adorn the temple grounds, reflecting Lanna architecture's elegance. Visiting Wat Chedi Luang is a spiritual and historical odyssey, offering a glimpse into Thailand's rich heritage.

    First time been to Wat Chedi Luang and is in the center of the ancient city. It is the tallest temple in the ancient city. The sacred pillar tower that was said to protect the city has been dilapidated, and the mottled stone statues on it tell the vicissitudes of time.

    My favourite temple to visit in Chiang Mai. Chill vibe. Not as busy and commercial as the other temples. Really huge ground to spend some quiet moment walking and sitting around. Very beautiful 600 years old temple.Entrance fees 50 baht is well worth it.

    One of Chiang Mai’s most important temples is the Wat Chedi Luang located in the ancient walled part of the city.The Wat Chedi Luang, also known as the Jedi Luang and “The temple of the Great Stupa” initially consisted of two more temples named Wat Ho Tham and Wat Sukmin, that were all merged into one.
