One of the most impressive temples in Chiang Mai is Wat Chedi Luang. It is the largest chedi in Chiang Mai and is located in the center of the city.

The original chedi, which dates back to 1481 A.D., was 98 meters high and 54 meters wide. It must have been a very amazing sight at that time. Unfortunately, the structure collapsed during an earthquake in 1545.

A good reason for foreign tourists to go to Wat Chedi Luang is the Monk Chat Program. As the name suggests, you can come and chat with monks about anything. For example Thai culture or their way of life. At the same time the monks get a chance to practice their English. This program is open between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m.
