1. Wat Chedi Luang
(วัดเจดีย์หลวง)Historical, Place of worship, Monument
Wat Chedi Luang, located in the heart of Chiang Mai, Thailand, is a historic Buddhist temple that dates back to the 14th century. It is one of the city's most iconic landmarks, known for its massive chedi (pagoda) that was once the tallest structure in Chiang Mai before it was partially destroyed by an earthquake in the 16th century.
Visitors to Wat Chedi Luang can marvel at the temple's intricate Lanna-style architecture and explore its serene grounds. One of the highlights is the city pillar (Inthakin), which is believed to protect Chiang Mai. Additionally, the temple houses a beautiful Emerald Buddha replica, which is a major draw for both local and international tourists.
