Attraction Details :
“Luang” means “large”
in northern dialect, and as the name suggests, Wat Chedi Luang temple is
home to Chiang Mai’s largest Buddhist chedi built featuring 98 meters
tall and 54 meters in diameter. The construction of the orginal chedi
was completed in 1481 during the reign of King Mengrai. But the current
Chedi Luang is an restoration according to the deconstruction of the
chedi in 1545 due to an earthquake. The ordination hall located in the
front is also an example of beautiful Lanna architecture with its
serpents are probably one of the most remembered elements.Opening hours: Daily 8.00 am - 5.00 pm
