Chiang Mai Old City Walking Tour Temples with Lanna Stories

2 hours 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

Ease into authentic Chiang Mai’s Old City walking tour with an English-speaking guide. It’s one of Thailand’s rare walkable cities, where temples, gates, and daily life sit side by side because Lanna Chiang Mai grew this way long before modern planning. Start at Three Kings Monument and stroll through the Old City lanes to Wat Chiang Man, the city’s oldest temple, then continue past Chang Phuak Gate (North Gate) and the quiet beauty of Wat Rajamontean. Finish at Wat Lok Moli, a serene Lanna landmark near the north wall. Small-group, low-impact, kept small and thoughtfully paced. This walk is a gentle way to explore the Old City. Book your spot and feel Chiang Mai click into place with every step.
