Chiang Mai, Thailand: Chat with a monk at Wat Chedi Luang; things to do

Chat with a monk at Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Chat with a monk at Wat Chedi Luang in Chiang Mai

Built about 600 years ago, the huge chedi here gave the temple its name. In its day, when for a short time it was home to the most important object in Thailand--the Emerald Buddha now in Bangkok--Wat Chedi Luang  must have been the most impressive temple in Chiang Mai. Its unusual Monk Chat program lets you have a chin-wag with a real monk.

  1. Each cave here has a specific name based on their characteristics; such as Tham Badan with knee-leveled water, Tham Phopu Ruesi, Tham Kaeo Morakot, Tham Keao Sawan Bandan, and Tham Kaeo with stalactites and stalagmites that glitter like diamond when sunlight shines on them https://catmotors.net/routes/doi-inthanon-national-park/ The temples of dominate the landscape with tall spires and dramatically sloping roofs.
