I have seen my share of beautiful temples when travelling South East Asia, so when I was in Chiang Mai I figured renting bicycles for the day and exploring the many temples found around the Old City would be a good day spent. I have always been fascinated by the intricate detail and effort that went into the construction of these temples. Chiang Mai offers its visitors an impressive array of Buddhist temples; some looking quite different than the temples I saw when I traveled to Bangkok a few years back. Grab a map, a bike, your camera, and you’re good to go and check out the temples in Chiang Mai!
Below is a list of some of my favourite temples that I went to while I was in Chiang Mai. I tried my best to remember the names of each temple, however some of them I just stumbled upon and couldn’t find the name. If you know the names of any of them, let me know!
Wat Suan Dok
This was by far my favourite temple that I saw in Chiang Mai!
Wat Buppharam
Wat Chedi Luang
Wat Mahawan
Wat Chiang Man

I independently rented a bicycle and did a bit of research ahead of time before exploring for the day. 🙂
