- macedonboyGlasgow, UK185,662 contributionsThis temple was the first to be built upon the founding of the city by King Mangrai in 1297. The oldest structure is the stupa, aka the Elephant Stupa, so named because of the elephant statues that around the base that support the structure.
The main temple has a high altar with a golden statue of the Buddha calling Mother Earth to Witness his past deeds. All around this statue is an assorted collection of Buddha statues of different sizes and poses.
A wonderful Thai Temple to visit.Written April 20, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

We reached here, as part of a taxi tour of Wat Doi Suthep, and other temples on the west of the Chiang Mai Old Town. It is about 6km from Wat Doi Suthep. Entry to the place is by purchase of a ticket priced at 50Baht. You must be properly attired, shoulders covered and with long pants, or you may be given a pants to cover up before entry to the compound.
There are a number of buildings here. There is a log cabin which is the seasonal residence of the royal princess, a eucalyptus wood log cabin which is the seasonal residence of crown prince, a two storey royal Guesthouse, a teak wood pavilion, a fern garden, and a water reservoir. The gardens with various flowering plants, including roses are well landscaped, well maintained, clean quiet and peaceful away from noise. There are sign boards explaining the various buildings here. We were there in the morning, and the weather was pleasant due to the elevation and the surroundings. We spent about one and a half hours, here to look around and capture some pictures. Our visit here was worthwhile.Written December 30, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Wat Mahawan is a neat structure that reminds visitors of the past glory of the Lanna kingdom. Worth a look while exploring the Thai city.Written September 21, 2023This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Alex P20 contributionsMainly noted for its unusual chedi this temple is a hidden gem. If you like temples I would recommend making a trip here for the main buddah as well. It is Burmese style and fabulously adorned with jewels. Makes a pleasant change from the typical gold Thai buddah. Very quiet and peaceful. We discovered it as it was around the corner from our hotel the Grand Wipperan and we returned as often as we could.Written January 25, 2022This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Thanh HAnaheim, CA109 contributionsWent to Toey Dim sum but it was too early and it wasn't open for business, We walked to Wat Si Don Chai for a visit.
Wat Si Don Chai is another big temple in the area, it housed in a large block of land with number buildings surrounding the main temple, its structure is quite beautiful with ornament decorated on its roof. Inside the main temple is similar set up to other temples in Chiang Mai, except the statue of its venerable sitting on a chair, first of all we thought he was a real person and alive, after few minutes we found out it is the statue. Cheese!!! amazing how they created a statue like a live person at first seen.
The Wat Si Don Chai is on maintenance while we were there,.Definitely once it finished, The temple will have more beautiful look and could be very busy by the coming Songkran Festival in Mid April.Written March 20, 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

The high ceilings, exposed brick, and eclectic mix of modern and vintage furniture create a visually appealing space that draws in a hip, creative crowd. The space often features art exhibits and installations, adding to the sense of being in a hub for the artsy and unconventional.
It functions as a community space, offering workshops, events, and even a selection of handcrafted goods. This multi-faceted approach provides a unique experience for those seeking something beyond a coffee break. They offer a nice range of espresso-based drinks and sometimes feature specialty brews. However, the consistency can waver on busy days.Written February 29, 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
