Such a lovely, quiet Wat that you can walk about freely and take in the lovely Artwork and Temple! It is close to everything so you do not have to travel too far!

This is a large temple complex with beautiful carvings and statues. It is in a garden like setting which is very serene. It is modeled after the Mahabodhi Temple of Bodh Gaya in northern India, the location where Siddhartha Gautama, the Buddha, attained enlightenment.

It dates from the 1450’s.

The chedi has seven spires which is quite unusual although it is in a state of mild disrepair. Besides the historical significance of these temple complex the other main draw is its peaceful and serene grounds. When I visited in late afternoon there were just a handful of visitors. I recommend you combine this visit with the national museum which is 5 or 6 hundred meters away and / or the tribal museum which is a bit farther north.

Consists of several temples & shrines, the most unique one is the snake temple with Indian influence. Many people come to pray as it's the full moon day of Lunar calender. It's pleasant to stroll around before noon as the wind was still bit cooler.

This is really one of the best temple complexes in the Chiang Mai area. It's a bit further out than most of the other temples, but that means fewer tourists, which is a good thing.
This isn't a single temple, but rather, a complex and will offer you both older sites and more modern temple buildings. The older sites are particularly fascinating and although they're billed as in the Indian style, the Khmer influence is obvious. The entire grounds are peaceful, much of it shaded (REALLY nice) on a hot, sunny day and a place where you can just casually walk, sit and enjoy yourself.
The one caution that I'd offer is to make sure that you arrange round trip transportation, because it is a bit out beyond the city center. We took a taxi out and our hotel assured us that getting transportation back would be no problem. That wasn't exactly the case. We couldn't find any transportation at the sire and since it's located next to the super highway, the local options just weren't there. They do have a tourist information office, but no one there spoke any English, so they weren't able to offer any help in that regard. We finally left the grounds and headed for the Maya Center up the road. We were finally able to snag a tuk tuk and get back to the old city, but I wouldn't want to chance it if you can help it. Do yourself a favor and hire round trip transportation, then enjoy a really fine experience at the complex.
