May 26th, 2010
Wat Chedi Luang: The temple was originally constructed in 1401 by the orders of King Saeng Muang Ma. In 1454, reigning King Tilo-Garaj enlarged the chedi to a height of 86 meters. After an earthquake in 1545, the chedi lay in ruins until 1991, when it was reconstructed at a cost of several million Baht.
Wat Chiang Man (วัดเชียงมั่น) is the oldest temple in Chiang Mai. King Mengrai allegedly lived here while the city of Chiang Mai was constructed.
