Chidilong Temple is a famous temple in Chiang Mai, and it covers a large area. It is worth visiting carefully. There are temples and pagodas in the temples. 1. Introduce the temple first: Shuanglong gate guard is very common at the entrance of the temple. There is a dress requirement for entering the temple. I wear a short skirt and add the coat provided by the temple. The windows in the temple are very beautiful. It is not a simple window, but a work of art. There is a golden man in the temple, originally a local aristocrat, who helped solve the local internal strife and was deeply loved by the local people, so he was worshipped by the people in the temple. Chinese people like to throw coins into pools and Buddha statues. Thai people like to paste Buddha statues with gold foil to pray. 2. Introduce the pagodas in the temple. The tall Lana style Pagoda in the temple was built in 1441 and destroyed in an earthquake in the 16th century, but it is still the most magnificent building in the city. There are six elephant heads on the south side of the tower. Five of them are fakes later repaired with cement. Only the right one is made of real bricks. Unfortunately, after years of wind and sun, the nose and ears were damaged. Below the pagoda, there are twelve zodiacs worshiped. Find my zodiac and take a picture. Two tigers and two tigers walk around the square pagoda. There are two halls behind the square pagoda. In the glass cabinet in the middle of each hall sits the wax figure of a high monk dressed in a cape. His eyes are bright and lifelike. Let's not take pictures, but use research to feel. 3. There is a Buddha in the temple which is very interesting, very fat and ugly. The monk is said to have been a super-beautiful man. Because of his jealous beauty, he finally made himself fat and ugly in order to stay away from the harm caused by his beauty. Previously, in Bangkok did not row up the sleeping Buddha temple, did not expect to encounter the sleeping Buddha in Chaidailong temple, of course, there is no grand sleeping Buddha in Bangkok Grand Buddha temple, but you can see.

    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.
