The 8 Best Architectural Buildings in Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai Province

November 11, 2021 Frederic Celentano

You could spend your whole Chiang Mai vacation exploring the famous Night Bazaar. Once you’ve exhausted the art of the cheerful haggle, however, there’s plenty more to explore. The National Museum and Botanic Garden are great places to soak up some local culture and to breathe in the delicate fragrance of Thai orchids. In the city’s center, the remains of ancient walls embrace over 30 temples. Limber travelers can climb 300 stairs to Wat Phrathat Doi Suthep, an ornate Buddhist temple in the hills.

Wat Chiang Man

Reviewed By Nyunt_Eugene - Chachoengsao, Thailand

This is certainly a very beautiful temple with a lot of wall art inside the main building, and a magnificent statue of the seated ဗုဒ္ဓ at one end of the hall. Behind the main hall is a very well-preserved chedi with a lot of ช้าง/ဆင် symbolism.

Wat Mahawan

Reviewed By Travelling_SE_Asia - St. Albans, United Kingdom

Just down the road from Tha Phae Gate which leads into the Old City (inside the moat) this is a beautiful, traditional Buddhist Temple. A big garden area means there’s lots of room for plants, statues and a golden Buddha in a wooden hut with glass front. There’s a large Chedi which is a cone structure behind the temple as is the case with most Buddhist temples. One can tell the age of the Chedi by the lack of straight lines in the work and the growth of moss and other plants over the years. Unfortunately the Temple itself was closed when I arrived at about 12:30, which is unusual for a Buddhist Temple this time of day. I’m sure it’s just attractive inside as it is outside.

Reviewed By CandyCin

Nice place to visit with many flowers along the way. Many kinds of roses there. The weather is pretty cool, it takes about 40m from Chiang Mai, we hired a car so could visit some other places nearby as Doi Suthep, Hmong Village. The police will check your so shouldn’t wear too short or sleeveless T-shirt

Wat Si Don Chai

Reviewed By chiangmaicharlies - Chiang Mai, Thailand

Wat Si Don Chai was built about 130 years ago, and during this past month (May 2019) it has been completely repainted. It is a joy to explore and offers a wealth of photographic opportunities. There is a very large main hall, a number of interesting smaller buildings, Statues, accommodation blocks and a vast area for parking - when there is not a special event happening. Wat Si Don Chai often has a variety of ceremonies going on, some of which take up the vast open areas. There is a large stupa at the rear of the main hall, in an area which appears to be a small cemetery with a number of interesting tombs. The main hall is sometimes closed, as it was when I last visited. Wat Si Don Chai is opposite the Pantip Plaza in the night bazaar area of Changklan Road - so very easy to find. Do go, you won't be disappointed. Highly recommended.
