Wat Phra That Doi Suthep, Source

Perched atop Doi Suthep mountain overlooking Chiang Mai, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep is one of Thailand's most sacred and iconic temples. Founded in 1383, its gleaming golden chedi, elaborate carvings, and sweeping views of the Mueang Chiang Mai city below make it both a pilgrimage site and a must-see attraction. Beyond its religious significance, Wat Phra That Doi Suthep offers a rich tapestry of Lanna architecture and cultural symbolism, a place where spirituality, history, and artistry converge.

The Wat Chiang Man is Mueang Chiang Mai's oldest temple, founded in the late 13th century. The temple’s architecture gracefully blends Lanna and Burmese influences, with beautifully carved wooden details and sloping multi-tiered roofs. The space houses 2 Thailand revered statues, the crystal Phra Kaew Khao and the marble Phra Sila. Within Wat Chiang Man in Chiang Mai stands the striking Chedi Chang Lom (or Elephant Chedi), where sculpted elephants emerge from the base as if bearing the upper structure on their backs.

A 13th-century relic of the Lanna Kingdom, the Tha Phae Gate in Mueang Chiang Mai, Chiang Mai, Thailand, was originally built for defence and trade regulation, but today stands as a symbol of the city's enduring heritage and spiritual identity. Around the Tha Phae Gate brick facade is an open plaza, which serves as a vibrant stage for festivals. Just beyond the gate, the Walking Street Night Market comes to life every Sunday evening as a kaleidoscope of Northern Thai culture. Within the Walking Street Night Market, a kilometre of vendors and stalls showcase everything from handmade crafts, hill tribe textiles, costume jewellery, beautiful artwork, and sizzling street food, while traditional music and dance performances animate the area.

The Mae Sa Elephant Camp Conservation Park in Mueang Chiang Mai represents a transformative chapter in Thailand's approach to elephant care. Originally founded in 1976 as a tourist attraction offering rides and shows, the place underwent a major ethical shift in 2019 when its Chiang Mai management retired all elephants from labor and entertainment. Today, the Mae Sa Elephant Camp Conservation Park serves as a sanctuary for over 60 elephants, many elderly, who roam freely across forested land, grass fields, and streams. They offer immersive educational experiences that deepen public understanding of elephant biology, behavior, and cultural significance.
