We spend the afternoon exploring the highlights of Chiang Mai. Visit Wat Chedi Luang with its towering, ruined Lanna-style chedi and Wat Prah Singha, which houses a sacred Buddha image, dominated by an enormous, mosaic-inlaid wihan (sanctuary). Continue to Doi Suthep, home to Wat Phra That Doi Suthep – considered one of northern Thailand’s most sacred shrine. Built-in 1383, this spiritual location features a steep flight of 300 stairs flanked by greenery and guarded by a 16th Century Naga serpent carving. You can either brave the climb or opt for a more gentle funicular train adjacent to the stairs. Atop the mountain, the views from here are nothing short of stunning.
