One Day Old Culture Temple & History of Chiang Mai
Itinerary:
• 08.30 am: We will pick you up to begin our journey to the recently discovered ancient city of Wiang Kum Kam. This city is believed to have been built during the reign of King Meng Rai in 1286 and was once the capital of the Lanna Kingdom. However, the city was eventually wiped out by a flood from the Ping River. Wiang Kum Kam is home to over 20 ancient ruins from the 21st - 22nd Buddhist centuries. We will explore the old city by enjoying a horse cart ride.
• Afterward, we will drive up the mountain to visit the Hidden Temple, Wat Phalart Temple. We will then proceed to visit "Wat Pha That Doi Suthep." This temple, built in 1383, is located on the mountaintop and houses holy Buddha relics in its Chedi (pagoda). Sitting at an elevation of 3,520 feet above sea level, the temple offers a breathtaking panoramic view of the city. To reach the temple, we will ascend a steep Naga staircase consisting of 306 steps.
• Our last visit will be to "Wat Chedi Chet Yot," where the main attraction is a seven-spired square chedi inspired by the design of the Phuttakaya stupa in India. Additionally, the stupa holds the ashes of King Tilokkarat, a king of the Meng Rai Dynasty who commissioned the construction of this temple. After our visit, we will return back to the city.
