Chiang Mai Wat Chedi Luang and Wat Umong Tour

4 hours (approximately)
Pickup offered
Offered in: English

Discover the historic heart and sacred temples of Chiang Mai on a private tour with your own car and English speaking driver/guide. Start at Tha Phae Gate, the famous gateway to the Old City, then visit Wat Chedi Luang, crowned by its monumental, partially ruined Lanna-era chedi, and the elegant Wat Phra Singh, a revered example of classic northern Thai architecture.

Beyond the old city walls, Wat Suan Dok shines with its golden stupa and white royal chedis honoring Chiang Mai's former ruling families. Finish among the trees and centuries-old tunnels of Wat Umong, a peaceful forest temple unlike those of the Old City.

The car is yours alone, so the pace is yours too: linger at the temples you love or skip a stop. Your local driver/guide shares tips and stories along the way, and hotel pickup and drop-off means no traffic, no parking and no planning.
