Chiang Mai Sights

  1. Wat Chedi Luang

    This temple complex surrounds a large and venerable Lanna-style chedi (monument housing a Buddha) dating from 1441. It's now in partial ruins, damaged either by a 16th-century earthquake or by the cannon fire of King Taksin in 1775 during the recapture of Chiang Mai from the Burmese. The Emerald Buddha, now in Bangkok, sat in the eastern niche here in 1475.
