This well-known temple dates to the 14th century and is regarded as a famed symbol of the Chiang Mai area. However, the handsome principal chedi of this temple to be seen at the centre of its courtyard was constructed in the 16th century whilst the entire complex was extensively refurbished in the 1990s. The temple is located atop a mountain and you must still climb as many as 300 stairs to reach the temple compound. However, your exertion will be amply rewarded by the many attractions of this place of worship, including a host of statues and shrines. One of the accommodation choices that you could consider from which this temple can conveniently be visited would be the Anantara Chiang Mai Resort, amongst the available options in the region when it comes to staying at a Chiang Mai hotel.
