Your guide will explain the story of the temple and lead you around its impressive chedi and beautiful murals. As dusk approaches and the tourist masses have left the temple grounds you are privileged to be involved in a private blessing ceremony and will have the magical opportunity to witness the evening chanting of the monks before heading back to your hotel. Much of the fun of the day is traversing the city using various modes of local transport including a songthaew, long tail boat and the ubiquitous 3-wheeler tuk-tuk. This combination ensures that you get the chance to explore areas of the city that most visitors do not get to see. Accommodation at DE CHARME HOTEL CHIANG MAI
