Interesting Thing

Wat Chedi Luang Worawihan is considered an essential sanctuary and antique of Chiang Mai. There are many exciting things such as Phra Wihan Luang, a beautiful applied Lanna architecture, and Chedi Luang stupa, which is an old pagoda over 600 years old, the tallest in Lanna and Thailand, Wihan Sao Inthakhin Inthakin, or the City Pillar of Chiang Mai. Therefore, it can be said that besides seeing critical ancient sites, I also learned about the history of Chiang Mai through this temple.
