We rented the Segway at 4pm and rode thru the old city and asked our guides to take us to Wat Suan Dok at 5pm so we could pray and listen to the Monks chant. I got a nice video on my Iphone of the whole experience. But Monks tend to chant at all the monastery at around 5 pm.... More

Chiang Mai is such a beutiful place. If your in Chiang Mai definatly have a look at this and the other beutiful temples. They are really so beutiful and even if you are not Buddhist or religious these sites are so beutiful and worth while.

The temple itself and some of the smaller viharas are good places to get the feel of temple life. Also the home of a Buddhist University where monks from all over the region come to study.
