Talat Ton Phayom

Situated on Canal Road, Talat Ton Phayom, also known as Suthep Market, is a market for those looking to purchase delicious packaged Thai food and condiments. One can also hope to find other basic items here, such as fruits and vegetables, flowers, souvenirs and simple home decor. This market is a local favourite since it offers student-friendly prices on its products.

Tha Phae Gate, located on the Moon Muang Road, is the most prominent landmark in Chiang Mai. It made up the city walls of the Old City in the earlier days, and is now a prime location which is flourishing under the advent of Chiang Mai's foremost hotels, shops and restaurants. It also serves as the hub of the city's cultural events and festivals throughout the year. The wall acted as the boundary for the Old City of Chiang Mai. Today most of the wall is crumbling, but the Tha Phae Gate that is east facing still stands. Besides it being the hub of restaurants, shops and cultural activities, the Tha Phae Gate is also perfectly located due to its proximity to other Chiang Mai’s tourist attractions, such as the Night Bazaar and the many temples of the city.

Tha Ton is a village in northern Chiang Mai, whose location in the countryside has granted it with verdant views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. The place is home to hill tribes, and is actively invested in their relief by setting up handicraft markets. Tourists can also visit the famous Wat Tha Ton temple or take a boat trip down the river to Chiang Rai nearby. Straddling between Mae Ai and Mae Chan, Tha Ton is nestled on the banks of Kok River. Back in the days, this jungle outpost was a focal point for opium to be transported across the border, as ordered by the then Burmese military leader, Khun Sa. Tha Ton now functions as just a serene backwater with only a handful of tourists making their way towards the river. Besides the Kok River, the Wat Tha Ton temple is another major attraction here. Built over several levels, this hilltop monastery is spread across 160 acres amongst the forested hills. Situated just a few miles from the Myanmar border, Wat Tha Ton overlooks the Kok River and Ban Thaton village. Read More

With a stunning white chedi guarded by four lifelike sculptures of lions, Wat Suan Dok houses the largest teakwood statue of Buddha. On the compound is a Dhamma hall for prayer, where the walls and panels narrate the life and teachings of Buddha through murals and carvings. Heavily influenced by Burmese architecture, this temple is a hotspot of multiculturalism.

Wat Chai Phra Kiat is a small Buddhist temple, located close to the more famous Wat Phra Singh. Literally meaning 'temple of renowned victoryäó, it is rich historically and architecturally. Grand structures of mythical lions welcome strangers at the entrance, while inside, the hall is decorated with the Buddha image called Chai Phra Kiat, and murals narrating ancient tales.

Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat is a Buddhist temple located on Rachadamnoen Road, which is about 150 km east of Chiang Mai and 180 km south of Chiang Rai. If you are looking to visit a unique place in Thailand, then this temple is a must-visit. The site is known for the white floating pagodas yet is one of the underrated places in Thailand. This place is agreeably one of the most stunning places where pagodas are dotting the mountain top, and the mist covers the surroundings. These pagodas do not have a history of construction like other pagodas. It was built by a well-loved monk who lived in the place nearby. The pagodas were carried up the mountain piece by piece by this monk and fifty other workers over a decade ago. Thus, the amount of love, sweat, and dedication to create this artwork is fairly visible when you visit Wat Chaloem Phra Kiat. Read More
