Overview

Ease into authentic Chiang Mai’s Old City walking tour with an English-speaking guide. It’s one of Thailand’s rare walkable cities, where temples, gates, and daily life sit side by side because Lanna Chiang Mai grew this way long before modern planning. Start at Three Kings Monument and stroll through the Old City lanes to Wat Chiang Man, the city’s oldest temple, then continue past Chang Phuak Gate (North Gate) and the quiet beauty of Wat Rajamontean. Finish at Wat Lok Moli, a serene Lanna landmark near the north wall. Small-group, low-impact, kept small and thoughtfully paced. This walk is a gentle way to explore the Old City. Book your spot and feel Chiang Mai click into place with every step.

What to expect

  1. Wat Chiang Man
    45m · Admission ticket included
    Chiang Mai’s oldest temple and a true Old City anchor. Walk through calm courtyards, see an elephant-lined chedi, and notice early Lanna details in the halls and carvings that set the tone for what you’ll spot next.
  2. Three Kings Monument
    10m · Admission ticket included
    Meet at the Old City’s central square by the Three Kings statue, a landmark gathering point surrounded by leafy streets and historic buildings. A quick moment to get oriented before slipping into the quieter lanes nearby.
  3. 30m · Admission ticket included
    Wat Inthakhin Sadue Muang is Chiang Mai’s City Pillar temple near Three Kings Monument, once home to the Inthakhin (lak mueang) pillar. A central “navel of the city” stop with Lanna halls, a small museum, and Luang Pho Khao Buddha.
  4. 30m · Admission ticket included
    Landmark Old City temple dominated by the massive Chedi Luang stupa, built in the 14th–15th centuries. Once among Lanna’s tallest and later damaged by the 1545 earthquake, it famously housed the Emerald Buddha.
